‘The Gayford Flyer’ a great success! Hadleigh’s inaugural cycling festival attracted hundreds of riders and their families to the town.The festival consisted of a sportive for over 200 adult cyclists and a junior event for 24 young cyclists. The Hadleigh Cycling Club planned the weekend to capitalise on the national and countywide interest in cycling, enthuse children and their parents, draw cyclists to the town and benefit local businesses. The sportive was named “The Gayford Flyer” in recognition of the town’s world record breaking aviator, Oswald Gayford. The 50km and 100km routes took the riders past landmarks including Gayford family home on Angel Street, RAF Wattisham where he served as commander and his final resting place in Naughton. The junior event proved to be an excellent opportunity for youngsters to receive coaching and experience racing in a safe environment. James Cartlidge, MP for South Suffolk, visited the event and witnessed the youngsters as they were put through a series of drills and participated in races. Adam Chamberlin, Chair of the Club said, “We believe that this weekend supports the Suffolk’s Year of Cycling initiative and links with the County Council’s ambition to be the “most active county”. “It also helps to ensure that there is a legacy for cycling in Hadleigh after the visits by the professionals in June with the Women’s Tour and the Tour of Britain last weekend.” Richard Holdaway, Sportive Director said, “The Flyer couldn’t have taken place without the help of numerous volunteers and the backing of businesses in the town. It has been a tremendous amount of work but the riders are already asking whether we will run it again next year!” ...Continued on page 5

January 2015 saw the publication of the results of the Town Council Neighbourhood Town Plan survey and two all-day events were held to enable members of the community to see the results of the survey and to make further comments. The results were also widely publicised in the local press and in the Hadleigh Community News. Comments on both the returned questionnaires and from members of the public have indicated overwhelming support for a Neighbourhood Plan. The events in January also attracted members of the public from some of the surrounding villages who, whilst understanding that they have no formal place in the consultation process, nevertheless feel that because they shop, visit the doctor, hairdresser etc in Hadleigh have an interest in what happens in the Town. The Town Council is glad to have these expressions of interest and will take note of their comments. So far, there has only been one negative comment and that referred to the costs involved, rather than the idea of a Plan itself. As a result of this positive feedback the Town Council applied to Babergh District Council for the Neighbourhood Area to be designated and this was granted in June. Further ‘pop-up’ consultations have been held at the monthly Farmers’ Market, in the Co-op and at the Leisure Centre and others are planned, so it’s not too late to tell us what you like about Hadleigh and what you’d like to see changed. It is also hoped that further support funding will be forthcoming to allow for a business/retail survey and for consultations with the town’s schools and youth groups. Councillor Sue Angland (Chair of the Planning Committee and lead on the Neighbourhood Plan) reported that the new Working Party appointed since the Town Council elections earlier in the year is keen to find out from as wide a range of people as they can how they’d like to see Hadleigh develop. “We very much hope that as many people as possible give us their views and we’d be very glad if members of the community would like to be part of the process,” she commented. If you’d like to volunteer to help or want to let us know what you think please contact the Town Council – staff@hadleightowncouncil.co.uk or 823884. The Neighbourhood Pan group would particularly like to make contact with the churches, voluntary organisations, groups and societies etc to seek their views. Please let us have your contact details.

Hello my readers: you often stop me in the High Street and tell me that I do so many unusual things and that is true. In the early part of the Summer a call came through from the Office of the Lord of the Manor of Polstead inviting my mother and I to join Alan Keeble who is the Lord of the Manor and his wife Susan to The Night of a Thousand Pipes – at The Troxy Cinema in Stepney. This was another one of those occasions that will be remembered for years to come. On a Sunny afternoon in August, Frank my chauffeur slid us through the highways and byways to The Marriott Hotel at Canary Wharf where we met our hosts. Afternoon tea by the old docks followed and before long we were alighting from the motor car to enter The Troxy. The Troxy was full of art deco splendour. This Wurlitzer had initially been installed at The Trocadero Elephant and Castle. It was removed in 1960 and over the last ten years had been installed in this cinema. The theatre was packed. Robert Wolfe who is the resident organist at The Thursford Collection in Norfolk gave what Alan Keeble described as a “world class” evening. We were absolutely thrilled as the organ located in chambers on either side of the auditorium reverberated through us. Brenda, my mother said how sad she was when the evening came to an end. The whole place was on its feet as Robert Wolfe was joined by another organist for the finale and together they put the instrument through its paces. It was a magnificent occasion and I am ever grateful to Alan and Susan Keeble for inviting me. Life is not always a bed of roses. You will know that I love my three miniature dachshunds. It was awful to find that Tilly, my youngest and quite adorable, had lost the use of her back legs. I was so lucky to obtain an immediate referral to the specialist veterinary hospital, Dick White, in Newmarket where they were able to operate. As I write this piece Tilly is still in care but I am assured that she is doing really well and I am looking forward to being re-united A Lasting Power of Attorney can make matters so much easier should a relation lose mental capacity or not be up to running his or her affairs as they once used to. It makes things much more straightforward to have a Lasting Power of Attorney in place rather than wait until it is absolutely necessary by which time the person giving the Lasting Power of Attorney may no longer have the capacity to do so The sale and purchase of a property or the granting or taking of a lease can produce problems that a lay client may not envisage at the outset.

Romania Tour 2015 In the early hours of Monday 24th August, fourteen of us left Hadleigh for Stansted Airport and our flight to Bucharest in Romania. Our tour guides were Danny and Claire from ‘Le Petit Paris’ in Maiden Way. Danny was keen to show us ‘the real Romania’ and its people and his enthusiasm for his homeland shone through. We enjoyed our first afternoon and evening exploring Bucharest and meeting personal friends of Danny and Claire. We had a royal feast as they welcomed ‘the English’ to their restaurant in the city. Seeing the beauty of Bucharest with its green parks, history and architecture outweighed the tiredness of the early start, especially the impromptu visit to the Romanian Athenaeum – stunning! The next day we travelled into the hills - a long drive but the few days that followed exploring the area was well worth it. Basil, our coach driver, settled into our group and helped us learn a bit of Romanian. He navigated the roads and the hills with skill and took us to some amazing places. Danny’s programme, which included Monasteries, lakes and a boat trip, gorges, villages, a Spa town, shopping in the gift stalls, and the secret view from the mountain, were all out of this world and will stay with us forever. The people are lovely and their hospitality was superb with tasty, fresh, home cooked food. A visit to a friend who had his own beehives and enabled us to buy home produced organic honey was another highlight. The week was tiring with a lot of travelling and I for one will never complain about the state of our English roads ever again. However, the whole experience was fabulous and Romania is a place to which I would happily return. Danny wants to do this tour again and arrange different ones to other parts of the country so give him a visit in Le Petit Paris and sign up. Pauline Thrower and friends!

The Hadleigh Historian: Issue 30 (October - November 2015) Tracing ones family tree has been popular for many years, made easier with the coming of the Internet. Much to his surprise, Colin Palma of Bishops Waltham in Hampshire recently discovered that his Ward ancestors, contrary to family stories, originated not in Bildeston but in Hadleigh. He has followed the usual sources of information available and last year made a visit to the town in order to see the setting in which his great- grandfather grew up. Colin has woven into the story the elements of work, worship and social support that Hadleigh provided for the Wards during the 19th century. All bedsteads during the period 1550 to 1750 were basically the same structural design with decoration and quality of soft furnishings accompanying them being the distinction between rich and poor. While inmates in the workhouses slept on the floor on straw-filled beds (like today’s duvets), the occupants of Benton End had piles of feather beds on elaborately-carved four-posters. ‘And so to bed in Hadleigh’ investigates the sleeping arrangements revealed in bequests made in wills. Extracts from the memoirs of Frederick Holbrow ‘A Hadleigh lad remembers’ now come to an end with the story of Fred’s return to the town when he picked up his life again in ‘civvy street’ after serving in the RAF during the Second World War. The occasional series is called ‘Lost buildings’ but the house in question in this issue currently stands surrounded by attractive grounds so why is Old Hadleigh featured? Once it stood in George Street but in 1933, it was removed to a new site miles away so it is lost to Hadleigh. I should like to thank the present proprietor for the opportunity to enjoy the delights of his garden, the historical aspects of his home and rides on the stairlift! Issue 30 sees the end of the fifth year of The Hadleigh Historian. There are plenty more tales to come concerning the people of the town and its surrounding countryside. If you have a story to tell or have investigated a piece of Hadleigh’s history and would like to share it, please contact the editor: Sue Andrews (01449 740673) The Hadleigh Historian is on sale at Avis the Newsagent and Idler Bookshop in Hadleigh High Street and at Hollow Trees Farm Shop in Semer, price £3.00

now graces the High Street. Their business started in 2007 in Scott’s garage just experimenting and having fun roasting and blending green coffee beans over a real flame and an old roaster. From these humble beginnings they have become an important local supplier of a wide variety of coffee blends to independent discerning cafés, restaurants and businesses. They are now the proud owners of three coffee shops and they can also provide comprehensive training for aspiring baristas. Paddy highlighted the many similarities between the production and enjoyment of good coffee and wine. Wine is blended and selected for special occasions and times of the day. They have adopted the same principal with their coffees. Their many different blends are compatible with their consumers’ mood, taste and when they choose to drink it. The additional staggering coffee statistics and the company’s commendable work ethic, completed a most interesting and informative talk. Croquet: At Ipswich Croquet Club, members spent a challenging afternoon coming to grips with this much understated game. An afternoon taster session gave participants enough time to learn the rudiments and enjoy a mildly competitive game between two teams. Apart from mastering the grip there was the usual unfamiliar terminology and the Croquet demonstration by need for tactical play. This all Barbara Tryon added to the enjoyment and on a beautiful sunny day, the ladies couldn’t have chosen a better pastime. ‘Winter Warmer’ Fashion Show: As part of the Hadleigh Year of the Sheep celebrations and in conjunction with the Edinburgh Woollen Mill, Ipswich branch, members and non-members viewed the company’s new autumn and winter collection.

Store Manager, Stella Goulby, provided fabric, colour and price details as the mannequins walked leisurely down the centre of the highly appropriate surroundings of the Guildroom. A well supported mini raffle and personal shopping time followed the show. The six lucky raffle prize winners were Paula Roberts, Barbara Tryon, Jackie Cork, Elaine Root, Helen Toth and Jane Marsland. Sincere thanks to all involved and to those who kindly supported this most enjoyable, successful event. The Hadleigh Boxford Medical Practice Charitable Trust will benefit from this evening. JD

Thankyou to our families, friends, charities and all those who supported us with our fundraising for the World Scout Jamboree 2015 in Japan It was a trip of a lifetime like we expected and we were so lucky to have this opportunity. We started off our 30 hour journey to Japan in Bedfordshire on 24th July 2015. After a 3am start, our journey began with 2 planes to Japan and eventually we reached our destination. Following this we travelled through Tokyo and took the bullet train to home hospitality (HoHo) in Toyama. Despite being exhausted, we were both excited to meet our host family and on arrival we were dressed in Kimonos and enjoyed typical Japanese meal of sushi and noodles along with celebratory fireworks. The next day consisted of visiting a museum, a temple and a shopping mall in which we had a meal out. We finished the day with a family meal back at the house, of octopus dumplings and a peach cake for pudding. That night we went to bed early ready for the early start travelling down to the Jamboree. It took us 12 hours to travel from Toyama to Yamaguchi in the south of the main Japanese island. Even though it was sad saying goodbye to our family and everyone else we met, everyone couldn’t wait for the next phase of our trip. After a few days of settling in we had activities starting with the opening ceremony where all 30,000 of us were gathered for a range of entertainment including an aeroplane show and welcomes from leaders in Scouting. Whilst on the Jamboree we participated in different events including a day trip to Hiroshima, and different schools for community service, and activities onsite like world culture day – where we tried a range of food from all over the world by walking around different camps – and global development village – where we explored and learnt about different ways of life. Hiroshima was a life changing experience and gave us an insight on the terrible disaster of 1945. Community service was also a highlight and it was amazing visiting schools in rural areas to learn about the education system in Japan. There were many other facilities on the camp, like a massive pavilion which was like a market place, and in our free time you could walk around and make friends with people all over the world. Next to our camp were a Brazilian, Hong Kong and Danish units, and every night we had a different country round to share dinner with. We had a ceremony to conclude our amazing stay at the Jamboree which included a visit from the Japanese prime minister and prince, and some popular bands and singers in Japan. After 12 days on the Jamboree site we packed up and got a bullet train to Tokyo (which travelled at 150mph) and got us to Tokyo for 8pm when the city was all lit up. After reaching the hotel, we put our stuff away and adventured back into the city for food and a walk around late at night. The next few days consisted of sightseeing and we started early the next morning at the top of the Skytree with an incredible view of the whole city. We also visited electric city, joyopolis (a stimulated theme park), temples, the imperial palace, and finished off with the Scouting Tokyo live festival. It was sad leaving Japan and saying goodbye to our scouting family that we’d spent the last 3 weeks with but it was an unforgettable experience. We would again like to say a huge thank you to everyone who helped us get to Japan and we’d both be happy to share more memories and pictures with anyone who wishes. Thanks again, Charlotte Woodmore and Ellenor Norman

District Councillor Presents Certificates to Hadleigh’s Young Readers
Over 100 children crowded excitedly into Hadleigh Library to be awarded their certificate and medal by Hadleigh Babergh District Councillor Kathryn Grandon for completing this summer’s Reading Challenge. More than 140 children completed the Summer Reading Challenge this year helping to break our overall Suffolk Library Open: record with 8,200 children finishing the challenge. The children were asked to read Monday, Wednesday & Friday 9 am to 5.30 pm at least six books to achieve the award. Kathryn says: “I was delighted to be asked to Tuesday 9 am to 7.00 pm make the presentation to the children. The Thursday 9 am to 8.00 pm Summer Reading Challenge is now quite a long tradition - I remember my own children Saturday 8.30 am to 4.00 pm enthusiastically taking part in it and it encouraged them to be keen readers. I am so pleased to see the Summer Reading Challenge is still enjoyed by so many children and I am sure it was appreciated by the parents too, with the mixed weather we experienced this summer!” “Reading is so important; parents commented to me that it was great to give their children something constructive to do during the bad weather rather than TV and computer games. I am pleased that Hadleigh Library supports the community in this way” continued Kathryn Grandon. Sarah Hunt, Hadleigh Library manager commented that “every year we have brilliant feedback from children, parents and teachers alike. A significant benefit is that it either improves or helps children maintain their reading ability over the six week holiday back ready for the classroom in 1501Y_SWAN_HadleighSudburyVillages_Ad_V3_Layout 1 11/09/2015 16:34 Pag September. We would also like to thank our team of enthusiastic volunteers who administer the challenge ensuring the children have an enjoyable and fun experience taking part in the Summer Reading Challenge.”

New treatment for Asthma Sufferers now available at Hadleigh Physiotherapy DO YOU SUFFER WITH ASTHMA? Would you like to be able to control your symptoms better? Would you like to reduce your dependence on medication? Would you like to improve your quality of life? As a development to the Respiratory Physiotherapy Service we provide our Specialist Respiratory Physiotherapist Sarah Fowler is now offering courses in the BUTEYKO METHOD. The Buteyko Method is a structured programme of breathing retraining developed by a Ukrainian Doctor Professor Konstantin Buteyko in the 1960’s. He noticed that when Asthmatics experience symptoms they over breath or Hyperventilate. This natural reaction leads to an increase in symptoms. He therefore developed a treatment approach which taught patients to reduce the size and rate of breathing. This treatment method was not well known in the West until the 1980’s and there are still relatively few trained practitioners in this country. However as more research has been produced the approach has been gaining credibility. Its effectiveness was recently assessed by the British Thoracic Society (BTS), the national society for specialist Respiratory Doctors, and having examined the published evidence was given a strong recommendation in its guidelines for Asthma care in 2014. They agreed that the clinical trials to date demonstrate that it can • Improve Asthma symptoms • Reduce use of Bronchodilators • Improve quality of life The Buteyko Method is complimentary to conventional Asthma management. The aim is to maximise your wellbeing. If you are interested in this new treatment and would like to receive more information, please contact Hadleigh Physiotherapy on 01473 810185 or send an e-mail to enquiries@hadleighphysio.co.uk

Hadleigh Evening WI The highlight of September was the Suffolk West Federation 95th Anniversary Celebration held at St Mary’s Church Bury St Edmunds. Before the service a representative from each WI took part in a parade of the WI banners made by the members from the institutes concerned. Carole Cranston made and carried the Hadleigh Evening banner. The procession passed through the Abbey gardens and then into and round the St Mary’s church. The service was conducted by the Reverend Canon Malcolm Rogers and attended by the Mayor of Bury and the Lord Lieutenant of the County. Federation Chairperson Elizabeth Lansman gave a welcoming address. Vice Chairman Rachel Thomas, had written and read an account of the history of the hymn Jerusalem, Jill Newell compiled and read a history of the WI and Pat Collinson described visits she made to 10 Downing Street and the European parliament, whilst she was chairman. The choice of hymns was uplifting, the WI choir was in fine voice and the organist superb. Hadleigh Evening is 50 this year. At their September meeting, members enjoyed a bring a plate supper. Sophie Rickards persuaded nearly everyone to participate in a game of charades. Reluctance gave way to enthusiasm, amusement and laughter. The winner’s prize, a large box of chocolates, was shared between everyone. Earlier in the month Sophie had organised a boat trip down the Orwell, which included afternoon tea. Looking ahead she is arranging for a group to participate in a cookery demonstration the Monks Eleigh Swan after which we will be able to eat the lunch prepared. The next meeting, a Harvest Supper, will be on 20th October, in the Seminar suite above the library starting 7.30pm. Visitors and new members are welcome.

Pension rights on divorce Many people are unaware that during a divorce, a Court is obligated to consider any pensions the parties may have, when dividing the marital assets. A pension, whether it belongs to you or your spouse, must be considered when the financial matters are being discussed during a divorce. There are many different approaches which can be adopted when considering pensions during financial negotiations. In some cases it is beneficial for a spouse’s pension to be offset against another marital asset. An example of this would be for a spouse to retain their full pension and in return, the other spouse has the former matrimonial home transferred into their sole name. This can often be a suitable arrangement which ensures that both parties obtain a fair entitlement of the marital assets. There are often scenarios where one spouse has not worked for a considerable period of time and therefore that person has not accrued a substantial pension fund. In these cases, it is often agreed that the parties will use the pension fund accrued by the other spouse, during their retirement. In such a case, it is likely that during a divorce, the spouse who does not have a pension would benefit from a pension sharing order. This is when a Court will order a pension scheme to transfer a percentage of the spouse’s pension to the other spouse. The spouse in receipt of the pension transfer will be given a separate pension scheme to their spouse. In cases where the proportion of the pension to be transferred is agreed, the appropriate pension sharing form can be submitted to the Court as part of a formal agreement. For the spouse who previously did not have a pension fund, an advantage of a pension sharing order is that they can pay into a pension scheme and they are no longer reliant on their former spouse in regard to retirement. A further advantage of a pension sharing order is that if the spouse remarries in the future, the order is not affected and they are able to continue to pay into their pension scheme. It is also important to be aware that once an order has been made by the Court, your former spouse is unable to return the matter to the Court to change the amount of the pension share, after the divorce has concluded. During a divorce, pensions can be a significant part of the marital assets which need to be divided. It is important to remember that even if you do not have a pension in your sole name, you are entitled to make a claim against a proportion of your spouse’s pension.

We hope all the children enjoyed the summer holidays and had a wellearned rest! The end of the summer term was so busy and went by in a flash. Children worked hard to finish off their various topics. For example, the children in Oak class took part in a banquet as the final part of their ‘castles’ theme. The children entertained one another with music performances, jousting and dancing. The feast included potage, which was made by the children using a traditional recipe, and dried apples. Before the feast, the children made their own goblets. The children sent invitations to the Reception children and it was lovely to have the younger children as guests at the banquet! It was a fun end to a very popular topic! The end of term was a particularly special time of year for our Year 6 leavers, who have now moved onto secondary school. Many of them had been with us since nursery and we all enjoyed celebrating their time with us and wish them well for the future. Our annual Leavers’ service was held at St Mary’s Church, where the children enjoyed singing some of their favourite hymns. They wrote very thoughtful prayers about the school and for their future at secondary school and beyond. The children were each presented with a holding cross and a Bible as a farewell gift. Thanks to Daniel Thompson for a super talk about what we all take with us from school as we grow up. It was lovely to see lots of parents and other members of the community at the church to support the children and say goodbye. The children also enjoyed a leavers’ barbeque, to which they invited parents and friends. Thanks to the volunteers who helped with the cooking and serving – we catered for a lot of people and your help was invaluable! As always, this was a fun, informal time to enjoy one another’s company and to say goodbye. After a very hardworking year, it was really important for the children to let their hair down! On the final day of the year, the highlight was the leavers’ assembly. We all enjoyed listening to the children’s happy memories of their time at St Mary’s. Some of the children had been with us for many years and some had only just joined us in the last few months, but all had many special things to share. From touching memories of people who had helped them to funny incidents and silly times, there was much to keep the audience entertained. One pupil said that there were long days but she always walked away thinking about what a lovely school St Mary’s is and how lovely the people in it are. This really summed it up for everyone! We also gave out a number of certificates and awards, including the ‘Rebecca Phillips Award’ for outstanding achievement, which was presented by Mrs Phillips. The Year 6 girl who received the award has had a truly remarkable year. We wish all of the Year 6 children well and look forward to hearing about their successes at secondary school as the years go by. The new Year 6 pupils are in the middle of their residential trip to north Norfolk. They are based at the Aylmerton Field Study Centre, where they are taking part in team-building activities and learning about the coast. The news from Norfolk is that they are an absolutely delightful group, who are making the most of all the opportunities! They are encouraging one another well and developing responsibility and independence. Our Worship theme for this half term is ‘friendship’. Thanks to the visitors who are helping the children to think about what a good friend is. Pastor Chris from the Baptist Church gave a very entertaining talk about Jesus and his disciples. The children have been sharing all sorts of ways that they can be a good friend.

THE OBSERVER Hadleigh Jazz Club It was another triumph for George and Chris and didn't all those present enjoy what was set before them. Georgina Jackson trumpet(s) and vocals, dazzled throughout and Pete Long clarinet, was hot on her heels. It was more than apparent that the rythm trio with Mick Hutton on double bass, would have paid to have taken part if this had been someone else's gig. Hadleigh Jazz have hit on a winning formulae. Those of a certain age form the core support and few venues in Hadleigh have a certain full house. These evenings are certainly a trip down memory lane, add in sensible pricing and decent intervals between gigs that suit an older generation, with talented artistes it should run and run. Trev Clarke I read Trevor's letter in last month's HCN with a mixture of sadness and understanding of where he is coming from and recognise fully his frustration. (I have been down that road these past sixty years Trev and am struggling with what will be my last hurrah). Unfortunately the world has changed greatly even in the short time I have lived in Hadleigh. The Lion's and Round Table have folded, Rotary has changed it's membership structure totally from my thirty years membership in London, plus it now has lady members. It is not all doom and gloom Trev, just more of a race at times to get support. I don't know why Hadleigh never had the purpose built Community centre which Trevor envies elsewhere. In the Sixties it was Government policy that all communities should have a hall of some description that would foster the community spirit. I cannot drive far without seeing a subsidised hall that I didn't have a role in the construction of. I am sorry that people like Trev find it so frustrating and reluctantly decide to walk away. Have a rethink Tevor. "ILLIGITIMUS NON TATUM CARBORUNDUM". The Steering Group I had been to a meeting of the earlier founding group and was left totally unimpressed. I probably chose the wrong meeting to attend for this restart as the revival formalities took an hour to go through, phew!! There were sixteen bodies present in all, five I believe were District Council staff, well they never change wherever you are. Whilst it was very generous of The Ram to provide a room and a drink to keep everyone going I felt that it would have been better off held in a ventilated room and large enough to see who it was talking. By the time I had something to contribute I felt I had been in a navy submersible for six months and was completely detached from what I had to say. Any way I will give it another go if they can stand me and hopefully come away with something to report. If you are interested to attend details should be elsewhere in this issue. The Observer

A group of local mums beat off the competition at the semi finals of 'Ipswich Has Got Talent' and are through to the finals! Not only that, a research crew for ITV's 'Britain's Got Talent' visited them during rehearsals at Chamberlin Hall, Bildeston - so who knows we may see them on our screens in front of Simon Cowell in the near future. Lesley Woods, choreographer and teacher said “Who would have thought attending my weekly dance and performance class could have changed the lives of these local mums in such a short space of time”. We would like to wish Debbie and Holly Bailey, Caroline Gage, Hayley Hynard, Tara Marshall, Rebecca Hiscock, Lorraine Pearce and Lucy Hayward the very best at the finals which take place at the Ipswich Regent Theatre on Friday, 13th November.
Joan Rudman I would like to thank family and friends who came to my 85th Birthday Party in April. My chosen charity was ‘Water Aid’ and I would like to thank my guests for the generous donations totalling £430. Last but not least I would like to thank my daughter Julia for organising this wonderful event.

We will be moving soon to a larger shop. We have been struggling with too little space for a while now so the new premises will make life easier for everyone. We do not know the exact date yet but will let all know when the NEW Opening Day will be. Please be assured that we will be operating in the same way, low prices (probably the best in the business), more wheelchair friendly, and there will be a small sitting area for people who are waiting for a bus or a friend etc. Also a special childrens' area.. We hope you all approve of the change and will continue your marvellous support. I cannot tell you how grateful is everyone who helps to operate the shop. Your loyalty means so much - it means that we can donate to such organisations as the following - Chernobyl Children, Hadleigh Elderly Peoples' Welfare, Wellbeing Centre, St Andrews Church, Layham, Hadleigh Childminding Group, Macmillan Cancer Support, HADS Pantomime, St Mary's Church, Hadleigh, Cystic Fibrosis, Bildeston Rovers Football Club, Refugee crisis, Magdalen House Residents' Trust

Kersey Mill Newsletter As a busy summer draws to a close our thoughts turn to winter and there will be no let-up in activity at The Mill. Preparations for our annual fund raising event “Santa’s Workshop and His Elves” are in full swing and it is expected to be bigger and better than before. Santa’s Workshop is far more than a Grotto it is a unique and magical experience and fun filled interactions for children, primarily between the ages 2-12 years. Lasting approximately 45 minutes a truly magical experience is the description that a lot of visitors have used in the past. The event is arranged and presented by the Friends of Kersey Mill, with kind donations from Cliff at Cobwebs Donkies, All Season Marquees, Art & Craft at Kersey Mill all the local girls from Hadleigh High School & various volunteers from this community that give up their time to help. We are truly grateful. Ticket prices have been held at £12 per child with an accompanying adult free of charge, these are now on sale so do book early as each year we have sold out well before Christmas. Tickets can be purchased via www.kerseymill.net or www.eventbrite.co.uk. Major works to the frame are about to get underway, a huge task with main structural timbers measuring 8.2 meters long and 30cm by 30cm across being replaced not to mention the meters of flooring and floor joist that then need to be replaced. More on this next month. The previously mentioned works to the exterior are now complete, all windows now have glass and open and shut accordingly, Bill made a fantastic job of replicating a centre pivoted window that can been seen in situ within a photograph from the 1950’s. A fresh coat of paint over the repaired weather board has finished the job off nicely and allowed us to move inside to commence with phase two. So with the works taking us through to Christmas it looks likely that we will have real elves working away with Santa in his workshop this year!!

Autumn Action Summer’s gone so now’s the time to rethink our dieting motivation. Try this... • Get serious. Make a decision to go all the way to your goal. Up to now, you've only thought about it. Up to now, it's crossed your mind. So decide to go all the way and your life will take off. It's the most extraordinary thing you can do for yourself. • Get around the right people. Who are the right people? People who understand what you want because they’ve done it and can help you do it too. Winners, positive people, not negative people. Get away from toxic people that complain and whine and may sabotage your efforts. • Take care of yourself. That means good diet and good exercise. Everybody knows they should eat better foods, exercise regularly and sleep well. • See yourself as the best. Visualize yourself at your very best - continually. Remember, improvements in your life start with improvements in your thoughts. • Be kind to yourself. Practice positive self-talk. How? Say, "I'm the best, I like myself, I can do it.” If you say those things to yourself and you don't believe them, isn’t that lying to yourself? No, it’s telling the truth in advance. Because it doesn't matter where you're coming from - what matters is where you're going. Talk to yourself the way you want to be, not the way you are at this moment. Remember, you may be where you are today largely by accident. Make sure your future is purely by design. • Get a sense of urgency. The better you get, the more you like yourself. And the more you like yourself, the higher your self-esteem is. And the higher your self-esteem is, the greater your self-discipline is. Become unstoppable. • The festive season will soon be here - you could drop a dress size or more and really enjoy the party!! • Research has proven that dieters are more successful with support.

What can the Duke of Edinburgh qualification do for you? Duke of Edinburgh gives you the opportunity to show a range of different skills. It helps to prepare teenagers for the world outside of school. Those students currently participating in Duke of Edinburgh are going on a training course to Sizewell where they will get to do some team building activities and a 7 kilometre hike. They will camp and also have to cook for themselves. Let’s hope for decent weather! BookBuzz! Year 7 pupils have been given the great opportunity to choose their own book to keep. They can chose from a list of 12 amazing titles, suitable for 11 to 13 year olds and selected by a panel of experts. We have been given this opportunity by Bookbuzz, a reading programme from Book Trust which supports schools and encourages reading for pleasure and independent choice to help develop a whole school reading culture. The pupils will receive their free, chosen book within the next couple of months. The choice of books include, Cuckoo Song by Frances Hardinge and Drake by John McNally. The pupils watch a short video of the 12 authors talking about their book to help them make an informed choice. The librarian, Mrs Watson, who organises this event said, “By choosing their own books, the pupils feel involved and it helps to encourage them to want to read.” School Shakespeare Festival This year, Hadleigh High School is running a Shakespeare Festival for Year 10 students. It is a great way for our aspiring actors to participate in this event as it will enhance their skills and encourage them to act in later life. It is going to be a lot of fun and all the actors will thoroughly enjoy it. Mr Day, who is one of the teachers running the festival, commented saying, “it will be an excellent opportunity as we will be studying Shakespeare for GCSE and will get an idea of the language he uses in his plays.” The charity; Rosa Simon Music Fund has funded part of the Shakespeare Festival in order for us to perform at Dance East. We are all very grateful for this contribution. Another generous donation was from The Hadleigh Thrift Shop which also means we have the funding to perform. The performance ‘The Taming of the Shrew’ is at Jerwood Dance House in Ipswich, on Tuesday, 10th November at 7.00pm. Anyone is welcome to watch the performance. To book tickets, call 01473 295230. We hope to see as many of you there if possible and hope you enjoy it! Aladdin…Oh yes it is! This year’s school pantomime will be a singing-and-dancing spectacular of Aladdin. It will feature the best talent this school has to offer with ages ranging from 11-16. Not only will it be entertaining for performers to act but it will also be enlightening for the audience to watch. Auditions were held on the 15th, 16th and 17th September, rehearsals will be on going until Monday 8th February when it will be premiered. It will also be performed on Tuesday 9th and Wednesday 10th February. Mr Day said “It’s going to be amazing!” ‘Be the Change’ Nobody really knows what’s going on with this new and exciting project. This project is about creating a change in and around the school. It’s launching on the 22nd September. Everyone is really curious about ‘Be the Change’ and it should hopefully connect everybody together. Parents learn what to expect Year 7 Expectations Evening is a great way for the form tutors and parents to meet. It’s a great way for the parents to find out what’s expected of their children by the time they reach the end of Year 9. Parents also receive advice on how to help their child revise and help them throughout their education. We also have the Year 10 Expectations Evening coming soon. Cross Country Cross country is looking promising this year as we have many of the high achievers in sport competing for our school. We have previously done 30

extremely well in cross country as a school and we hope to do just as well this year. They will compete on the 15th October and Mr Davy, who organises cross country, had this to say: ‘We are very confident about cross country as we usually do well and have many talented young athletes’. Head Pupils have their say The new Head Pupils and Prefects have now been selected and they are eager to improve the school even further and show off their leadership skills. They will shortly be holding an assembly to make sure that everyone knows who they are and what they are aiming to do. The head pupils want to share their ideas and initiative with the school and teachers. We wish them well on their future endeavours. Year 10 students are part of Scout Jamboree The World Scout Jamboree is a gathering of Scouts from across the world, who get together every four years, so it is a special time for many Scouts. This year, it was held in Japan. The Jamboree is such a big event with over 44,000 Scouting members participating, and the selection process is tough. However, Aidan Roberts and Anna Vince were lucky enough to have been selected to participate. All scouts that were selected then had to fundraise £3,250. They left the UK on the 24th July and said goodbye to parents as they headed off to Japan for three weeks. The whole point of the Jamboree being held in Japan, in 2015, was for the 70th anniversary of the Hiroshima bombings, to create a world of peace, and a sense of unity between each scout, whatever their country, race or religion. The Scouts did so many amazing things that were so different and it gave them all such a fantastic experience that they would never be able to do without the opportunity of being part of the Jamboree. The scouts visited Tokyo, rode on the bullet train and experienced living with a Japanese family. They learnt not only about Japan and its culture, but other countries’ culture. The Jamboree itself is something they will never experience again and it will be one of the greatest memories forever. So, if anybody who is thinking about doing something new in their lives, do it, it may be an experience of a lifetime. Aidan and Anna would also like to say a huge thank you to those that helped them fundraise for this opportunity of a lifetime, as they would not have been able to achieve this without you! What is ‘POST 16’ Instead of a normal work experience, fourteen Year 10 pupils were selected to take part in a ‘Post 16’ project, aiming to find out more about the wide range of options available after leaving high school or college. Throughout the course of the two weeks, we visited a range of businesses such as an Audi dealership and Sealey’s Engineering in Bury St Edmunds. We were also fortunate enough to be visited by a representative from New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership, a collaboration between over 55,000 private and public sector businesses that aim to provide jobs and grow the local economy. During these business visits, we were aiming to discover more about employment, interviews and qualifications and skills necessary for certain jobs. We also learnt to appreciate the wide range of job roles within the businesses, other than the front-of-house staff that we would meet as a customer. We were interested to find that a large number of staff were required to manage the everyday needs of the business – from accountancy to administration, there was such a large range of duties! University We also learnt about other options that are available, such as university and apprenticeships. We spent a day at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, learning more about university life, as well as the application process. We were surprised by the amount of courses that were available: over 37000 different courses and 370 places to study in the UK! The students gave us this advice about choosing a subject and a place to study… What should you consider when selecting a subject to study at college/university? • How do you like to learn/be assessed? Some subjects require more independent study than others. Consider whether you prefer coursework or exams. • Do you have the motivation and interest to complete the course to the best of your ability? • Do you know enough about the course to fully understand what you will be doing? What should you consider when selecting a college/university to go to? • The requirements for entry to the institution – consider other qualifications as well as GCSEs/A levels as these will set you apart from other applicants • The location – will you need to travel from home? Will you need to arrange accommodation? Many universities offer accommodation for first year students and some colleges offer boarding facilities but you will need to research this on the university or college website. • It is worth finding out about the reputation of the college/university, and the quality of life there. League tables are published regularly by newspapers and education websites and are easy to access on the internet, on websites such as http://www.thecompleteuniversityguide.co.uk/leaguetables/rankings. There are a variety of tables ranked by achievements of the

•
students, student satisfaction and other factors. If it is university you are considering, you need to make sure that it is financially possible for you to go, as in general, courses cost between £6000 and £9000. You may be able to get a scholarship if you have a particular talent, but these are very competitive and it is very hard to get one. Student loans are available to everyone, but they will leave you with a debt at the end of your education.
Apprenticeships We also visited the district council offices in Hadleigh, where we met some people who were completing their apprenticeship programmes. We were given the chance to shadow some of the employees at Babergh District Council, which allowed us to see the skills that are required to complete common tasks. It also showed us that although you should have knowledge about the company you work for, you do not need to be an expert as your employer will support you and should teach you anything you are unsure about. Furthermore, whilst in Bury St Edmunds, we took the opportunity to survey 53 local businesses, and we were able to discover that 96% of employers favour attitude over ability. One of the common comments was that attitude is something employers value due to the fact that it shows that you are willing to learn, whereas despite the fact that ability is useful, it can be taught, especially through apprenticeships. One of the other results of the survey is that we found that good communication was the skill that the employers valued the most in an employee. Looking to the future Overall the Post 16 experience was very worthwhile, as we learnt that there are a range of choices both when we leave this school and after college. It has allowed us to gain a broader understanding of the world of work, as well as to give us more information on university and apprenticeships and the skills needed for these options. As we shared our knowledge with the rest of the school via a display board and a video, we now all have a better understanding of the options after 16 and are now prepared to make informed decisions in the future.

We still have produce to harvest from our Wildlife Friendly Vegetable Garden from our spring sowings. The rain at the end of the summer is benefiting the later plantings of Brassicas (brussel sprouts, cabbages and cauliflower), and leeks and parsnips; all of which should be ready to harvest during the winter months. Growing Marigolds and Nasturtiums to deter certain pests and attract pollinating insects (companion planting) has also provided some lovely colour to the garden. If any pupils would like to help with this vegetable garden and all the other on-going conservation projects, you would be made very welcome. We meet every Tuesday at 3:00pm at the Science prep room and the session runs for an hour finishing at 4:00pm. Please see Mrs Baker for further details.

Florentines I often wondered why these sumptuous treats are so expensive; the answer lies in the cost of the ingredients, but I still think they are cheaper to make than to buy, besides which they are easier to make than you might suppose. The great thing about this recipe is its flexibility. The final result will by Sarah Thompson depend on your preferences but the combinations are endless! Ingredients 50g (2oz) unsalted butter 125 ml (4 fl oz) double cream 125g (4oz sugar) 50g (2oz) plain flour 250g (8oz) dark chocolate – the darker the better! 450g (15oz) of ingredients from (choose your favourites!) Blanched almonds, shelled pistachios, brazils, walnuts, dried fruit, candied peel, stem/dried ginger etc. If you wish to be experimental, Urban Fruits do a great range especially for people like me who don’t like traditional glacé cherries, be bold with dried mango or pineapple! Method Preheat the oven to 180C and butter and grease a baking tray. Melt the butter with the cream and sugar and bring slowly to the boil. Remove from the heat. Add your chosen fruit and nut combination, sift in the flour and mix ingredients well. Drop small teaspoons of the mixture on to the baking tray, spacing them well apart, and flatten each one with a spatula or fork. They will double in size as they cook so size according to taste. Bake for 5-6 minutes, remove from the oven and coax them into a circular shape. Return to the oven and bake for a further 5-6 minutes until lightly browned at the edges. Remove from the oven and leave to set for a few minutes on the baking tray then use a palette knife to transfer them to the rack to cool. Meanwhile, melt the chocolate in a bowl over a pan of boiling water or, if you are brave, place chocolate briefly in a microwave ensuring it does not burn! Personally, I see the advantage of the speed of the microwave, but feel I have more control over a bain-marie (bowl over pan of water). When the florentines have hardened, dip them longingly and lovingly in the melted chocolate. Deliciously simple – simply delicious. Enjoy, share, indulge!

Hadleigh Chamber of Commerce – moving forward It’s been almost a year since Hadleigh Chamber partially hibernated when we didn’t get enough volunteers to run the day to day work. During that year we unfortunately had to stop the Hanging Baskets and coverage of the liaison groups with the Council. We were able to restructure the Chamber into a Community Interest Company and so safeguard the funds and simplify the committee operations. Reforming the Committee We have now had a few volunteers come forward and, with the success of the Year of the Sheep and the ongoing legacy they are clearly going to maintain, there is an obvious appetite from the business community. So, if anyone is interested in giving a very small amount of their time to help the Chamber get moving again we want to hear from you. Just drop Tony Addison an email – tony.addison@free-rein.net, or call on 01473 810002. It doesn’t need to be a lot of time and it can be restricted to a single project. Loyalty Card The first project that needs help is the continuation of the Loyalty Card Scheme on the High Street. We hope to be sending out letters to all the participating stores in the next month to raise the funds (last year this was funded by Kelvin Avis for us with Chamber funds covering the prizes). Jane Haylock at the Idler was untiring in distributing cards and stamps, collecting the completed cards and sorting out winners – thank you Jane. But this is not a one person job, we need some help in collecting and running the scheme or it will unfortunately come to an end in November. If you can spare a little time helping keep the supply of cards moving and sorting out winners from the returned cards, we would love to hear from you. Hanging Baskets Again a project that was run by a small three person team, but this was brought to a halt last year when the maintenance business could no longer trade and the fund raising became just too much for the small team. Many thought the flowers were managed by the Council – but that was never the case – just a small band of hard working volunteers. As with the loyalty cards scheme this needs more help if we want to keep it going. If you think you could spare a little time helping keep a really worthwhile project going, then please let either Tony, or Cyndy Hilton (cyndy.hilton@prioryhall.com) know. I am sure you have seen the difference the flowers make down the High Street. Chamber Day to Day If you do want to get involved, the Chamber doesn’t meet routinely every month. We try to break the projects down so that it has as little demand on people’s time as possible. The day to day finances are managed by Martin Hill from Walter Wright (thank you Martin) and the “running” of the company falls to the Directors who are already in place. So it is the project by project work where we need help We already have a large number of the local businesses as members and so a ready-made audience for new ideas. So please help us revitalise the Chamber and give Tony a call or drop him an email today. 01473 810002 tony.addison@free-rein.net

A Date for your Diary The ball is rolling – thank you Hadleigh. We have a small army of volunteers ready and willing to provide a free Christmas lunch with an afternoon of entertainment in the Ansell Centre. Now what we need is a guest list! The event is open to all those in Hadleigh and the surrounding villages who would otherwise be on their own at Christmas. There is no age restriction and no set criteria. For example, full time carers could come with the relative for whom they care, people may have partners serving in the forces, people may have family abroad or on holiday at Christmas, people who are bereaved etc. So this update goes out in particular to groups, residential homes, churches, businesses, health, care and social welfare professionals to help identify people who would benefit from such an opportunity. The first meeting for the volunteers, who will also be welcome to join the Christmas lunch, is to be held on Tuesday 13th October at 7.30pm in the room upstairs at The George pub in Hadleigh. Everybody with an interest in this venture will be most welcome; ideas and suggestions encouraged, further development received heartily and refreshments will be provided. Watch this space for news of a very special fundraising auction! If anybody would like further details, please feel free to contact us, Sarah and Simon Thompson on 01473 – 829246 or email sarahtooley10@hotmail.com

The first meeting of the reformed Steering Group was held on 7 September and was well attended with representatives from all community groups and a few residents of Hadleigh. First order of business was to elect Jane Snowdon as Chair, adopt a simple terms of business and agreed a consistent meeting pattern. Residents Welcome The Steering Group will meet on the first Monday each month at 4:15pm at the Hadleigh Pool and Leisure complex. Some different meeting times will be tested to see which is easier for residents and owners of local businesses find most suitable. The next meeting will be: 4:15 pm, Monday 5th October 2015 Social Room, Hadleigh Pool and Leisure Anyone is welcome – just let us know in advance to ensure we have sufficient seats. Drop an email to claire.boniface@babergh.gov.uk or call her on 01473 826622. As some people may find that time difficult is was agreed that we would try and hold some of the meetings at different times and to hold one at a later time, just before the Town meeting in the third week of April. Group Purpose The Steering Group should be one significant channel where any member of the public, whether they live or work in Hadleigh, can have their say on some of the major issues and projects in Hadleigh. The Steering Group is run by the community. It includes representatives from our Town Council, Councillors, lead community groups and business and is supported by officers from our District Council to provide that direct channel to key issues. Anyone may bring new matters to the group, just let us know (through Claire Boniface) in advance so that time can be reserved in the agenda. September Meeting The group met on 7th September at the Ram in the Market Place. The key matters covered were; Schools Engagement – keen to include everyone and with a couple of school governors present a more formal representation would be sought. Corn Exchange – following two open days the Town Council had received a number of ideas for its use and thoughts on how it could generate revenue if the Town Council were to acquire it. Mike Evans (BDC) would try to find out what terms of selection Suffolk Council may have for disposal of the Corn Exchange. Neighbourhood Plan – Canvassing of public views was still underway (so get your views in) and response to the questionnaire had been good. Business questionnaires would be going out shortly. This key subject will be on the Group agenda as a priority. LEADER Project – the local element of this programme made available ÂŁ1.7 million to support the Wool Towns and the grants (subject to match funding) were available for any project that supported rural growth and development. Babergh DC or the Steering Group are the routes to find out more. Hadleigh Market – Babergh DC informed the Group that the lease was up for renewal and the existing holders would be retiring. The Steering Group would bring this into the agenda for the next meeting to discuss ideas and options. October Meeting Jane Snowdon pointed out that the Steering Group was not just a talking shop and so the regular meetings need to be clear on agenda. For the October meeting therefore the main time will be allocated to “Improving Hadleigh as a Visitor Destinationâ€? • Look at tourist coach parking • Ideas for new Hadleigh Market lease • Visitor information and services Followed by updates on: • Neighbourhood Plan • Local Plan (site allocations) • The Corn Exchange • LEADER Project • Year of the Sheep legacy thoughts The meeting is open to any member of the public living or working in Hadleigh, so come along. Please let Claire Boniface know in advance though to make sure we have a large enough room and, if you have a new subject to raise, let in the agenda. Email Claire her know in advance so that time can be allocated on 01473 at claire.boniface@babergh.gov.uk or call her 826622. Alternatively let Jane Snowdon know at snowdonjane@hotmail.co.uk

I would like to say a big thank you to everyone who sponsored and donated towards my fundraising for Macmillan Cancer Support. I have lost close family and friends to Cancer in recent years and so I volunteered to ‘Brave the Shave’ a few weeks ago. I wanted to do something for those who do wonderful work supporting people who suffer from cancer. I had set myself a target of ÂŁ300 and I am so thrilled to announce that thanks to all the generous donations received I have exceeded my target and raised ÂŁ600 at the time of writing this article but I’m hopeful that will rise to ÂŁ700. I would especially like to thank the staff and patrons of the Kings Head and Giorgio Finezza, Hadleigh, Ipswich Borough Council Staff and RAF Reserves personnel as well as my good friends and dear family for being so supportive. Finally not forgetting the staff at Francesco Hair Salon, Ipswich who take credit for my new look! Donations can still be made by visiting bravetheshave.org.uk and searching for ‘Adam Earl’
Fashion Show #Rethink Fashion An exciting new event is being planned for November. The Porch Project is hosting a Fashion Show in St Mary’s Church involving Tatty Broyd’s, Girls Love Roses, Rachel’s and Hall Street. An array of gorgeous outfits will be showcased together with the opportunity to do some shopping from a number of stalls offering a range of products from accessories to homewares. The organisers are hoping to involve many of Hadleigh’s shopkeepers in this endeavour. We hope that while the evening will highlight all that Hadleigh High Street has to offer, it will also provide a fun evening out for many local people combining shopping, chat and sartorial inspiration in equal measure. Most importantly, we hope that your support will raise some much needed funds for the Porch Project. Alongside the Fashion Show we are running a Competition for 12 - 20 year olds to reinvigorate an item of clothing bought from a charity shop. The idea is that they will up-cycle any tired, unwanted piece of clothing and modernise it, creating a look for today. We invite any young person to enter and the designs will be showcased at the Fashion Show with prizes on offer for the best designs. The competition will be free to enter but competitors will need to provide a before and after photograph of their creations. Any item of clothing may be entered, or indeed a complete outfit, the main stipulation being that it must have been pre-loved. We are very excited about this aspect of the fashion show and very much hope that we will be inundated with entries. Porch Project hold a regular evening for girls in years 7-10. It’s a great place to socialise and have a laugh with other like-minded girls and is certainly not all pink and fluffy! They have many upcoming activities and have already organised an outing to laser quest. They are planning to help organise the fashion show and are busy designing and creating outfits. Come and join in at the Deanery Tower in Hadleigh – for more information please contact Lizzie Beckett at youthworker2@porchproject.co.uk. For details of how to enter the competition and ticket information please email funding@porchproject.co.uk. Tickets for the fashion show will also be on sale at outlets around Hadleigh. We look forward to welcoming you all in November for what promises to be an exciting evening.

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

HADLEIGH UNITED FOOTBALL CLUB
My life at The Shelley Centre For the last three years whilst on loan to The Shelley Centre Thyme has proved himself to be a very versatile and willing pony, much loved by those special riders at Shelley for whom he provided valuable therapy and also became a great friend. He took readily to the new skill of carriage driving which he greatly enjoyed, and with his owner Lucy he has kept himself extremely fit doing Pony Club events, show jumping, cross country and endurance riding, as well as his ‘day job’ with the disabled children and adults at Shelley. So we will miss him as he has now moved on to a new home, but thank him and his owners for his time with us at Shelley and hope he enjoys the next stage in his life. Difficult to replace but we are now looking for another Thyme. A 14hh ride and drive pony with a good temperament, on permanent loan or to buy. If you know of such a pony we would really like to hear from you. Please contact Lyn, our Stable Manager at The Centre. Our new term is progressing well and we are delighted to see a few new faces in our team of volunteers. September saw a working party of 20 very keen volunteers from B.T. who came to lift ragwort, cut grass, hedges and tidy the garden, as well as some carpentry work. We are very grateful to them all for their enthusiasm and assistance, as well as for their donation of some tools for our future use. We are also grateful to all who took part in the Long Distance Sponsored Ride, to those of our helpers and supporter who spent the day stewarding the route, also to the local landowners who allowed us to cross some of their private property which made the route so enjoyable for the riders. Our next fundraising event is an evening of Frog Racing at Nayland Village Hall on 17th October. Fish n’ Chip supper. For details contact Di on 01473 658552. Sounds like fun so do come and join us.

Hadleigh Community Primary News Multi-use facility ready for pupils to enjoy Over the summer holiday, there was a lot of construction work taking place on the school field. This was because our MUGA (Multi-Use Games Area) was being built. Our school had a major boost after it was successful in gaining £30,000 to develop new outdoor sports facilities at the site. The funding was part of Sport England’s £18m National Lottery funded ‘Primary School Facilities Fund’, which is helping more schools to provide outdoor multi-activity play areas across the country. At Hadleigh Community Primary School, the funding has gone towards the MUGA, which is astroturfed, enabling sport to continue whatever the weather. We look forward to an official opening in the near future. The children are really excited by the new facilities and cannot wait to take part in the higher quality PE and additional clubs it will enable us to offer. Because it is such a valued part of our curriculum, sport is thriving at the school and we are delighted that it has received national recognition. HCPS participates in the ‘Year of The Sheep’ celebrations Music continues to flourish at HCPS following our successful summer concert. A particular focus this month has been singing, with a link to the ‘Community Year of The Sheep’ events. Mrs Broadbent arranged a medley of songs which she had adapted to be sheep related. The whole school (and many adults) have been learning these songs in preparation for a performance at the ‘Year of The Sheep Grand Finale’ on Saturday 26th September at St Mary’s Church. Over 50 of our pupils offered to support the event, singing the medley to an audience. Singing is at the heart of our school. It has been recognised to improve health and wellbeing, relaxation, brain development and friendships. Therefore, the school has been delighted to be part of the celebrations.

Hadleigh and District Gardening Club At our September meeting we were treated to a fascinating talk on bonsai by Rosemary Smith from the Ipswich Bonsai Society. How can something that we see every day outside that is so large, instead be grown in a small pot and often kept to just a few inches tall? Rosemary, with obvious enthusiasm for her craft, Rosemary Smith is on the right with attempted to unravel club member Julia Wild the mystery for us. The secret seems to rest with a combination of regular pruning (above and below the soil), choosing the right pot for your specimen, using the right soil, correct feeding and finally regular watering. I was all set to 'go bonsai' until that last point - for someone who only remembers to feed the cat if it miaows at me, the thought of watering twice a day seemed unrealistic. However, it does seem a craft worth considering if you have the patience, and it is something anyone can try. In front of our eyes Rosemary even turned a regular perennial plant, bought that afternoon from a local nursery, into a fledgling bonsai. It was good to greet new members at our last meeting but we do have room for more, so if you have any interest in gardening why not give us a try? No gardening knowledge necessary (no one is tested!), and whether young, more mature in years or somewhere in between, all are welcome. We are a friendly bunch, membership cost is nominal (just £1 per meeting for members or £3 for non members) and we meet on the second Monday of the month at 7.30pm in the Town Hall. At our next meeting on Monday October 12th our guest speaker is local photographer Clare Dawson. Clare specialises in still life images of flowers, and plant portraits shot in their natural environment. We hope to see you there. Andy Leeder, Chairman

It is important to recognise that good emotional health is as essential as good physical health. There are many different ways that can help us to regain, sustain or strengthen our emotional wellbeing. Described as expert talking therapy, counselling provides a safe and private space to talk about anything preventing us from feeling ok. Some use this space to explore how to respond differently to life events and others use it to become more self-aware; enabling further personal achievement or change. Whatever your need, counselling can provide you with a range of life changing opportunities. Are you wanting to try something different? Come and explore mindfulness and become more focused and present in life. I offer six weeks of mindfulness training or, if you prefer, a one off taster session. Mindfulness practice enables us to slow down from our helter-skelter rush through life. Finding a sense of calm can reduce stress or anxiety, and use of mindfulness techniques can help us to prepare for an important one off event. Day, evening and weekend appointments are available both at Kersey Mill and Stowmarket for all my services. For more information visit www.pamevanscounselling.co.uk or contact me: 07835 414429.

Hadleigh Gardens Personal Thoughts One of the joys of having a garden is being able to sit out in it on a sunny day, and enjoy the beauty of the flowers, and the birds flying around. Mary and I like warmth, but not too much sun, so our favourite spot is sat under an ornamental plum tree near the back of our house. The bird feeders are hung in the tree, and providing we are quiet birds will come and feed within a few feet of us. We also have a couple of spots in the extended part of our garden where we like to sit at certain times in the year. Immediately outside our summerhouse is good on sunny days in Spring when the bulbs in that part of the garden are flowering, and when the damson and apple trees are in flower. We also have a garden bench by the yew hedge between the vegetable patch and the fruit trees which can be very nice at this time of the year on a sunny afternoon. Think about your own garden. Could you improve its attractions as somewhere to sit and enjoy the open air ? When I think about it my seating spots are short on perfume. There are plenty of perfumed plants around the garden, but not near my favourite seating positions. By the way the plum tree was a mistake. It was a Silver Wedding present , and so has been planted for over 30 years. The label said that it would grow to 12 feet, and all those years ago I believed it. It is now over 20 feet tall, and is much too close to the house. I saw my house built, and am not worried about the house foundations, but if you are planting trees make sure you know how big they could be after say 30 years. Weather Records In August at Kersey there was 44.5 mm (1.75") of rain which is just a bit less than average monthly rainfall. The 3 monthly total at the end of August was 138.4 mm (5.4") which is again just a bit less than the average figure. In August the maximum temperature was 28 Cel (82F) which is typical. The minimum temperature was 11 Cel (52F) which is a couple of degrees higher than average. Hints October is the month to start the Winter clear up while enjoying the last of the Summer flowers, and harvesting and enjoying the vegetables that you have grown. For me it has been a very good year for beans, onions, strawberries and blackberries. There is an increasing interest in planting Spring Bedding and Containers, and this is the time to get on with this job. The popular plants are Pansies and Wallflowers (correctly Cheiranthus), although there are other plants such as Bellis (the double daisy) that can be used. I am a little wary of buying Wallflower plants, because they belong to the crucifer family, and are therefore susceptible to the "Club Root" disease which affects cabbages and related vegetables, and I do not want to risk introducing this into my vegetable patch. Where no vegetables are grown this is less important. October is a good month to lift and replant Crocosmia & Montbretia. Throw away the old tubers and replant the best of the new ones. It is also important to remember that we can have a damaging frost by the end of October, so it is a good idea to either protect or propagate tender perennials. We do not know what the coming Winter will be like, so we should be prepared. One can get very good sweet pea plants by sowing them now in pots or root trainers, and over wintering them in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse. Enjoy your gardening, John Rye

The Battle of Loos began on 25 September with ‘The Big Push’ over a broad front between Le Bassée and the mining town of Loos in northern France. After 2 days of intense fighting, the Germans were driven from their front line trenches. The objective was then to hold the new position and continue the advance, bringing in reserve troops and taking out the wounded across what was no-man’s land. Here connecting trenches either hadn’t been dug or were woefully inadequate. The result was congestion and men moving across the battlefield were easily exposed to enemy fire. In early October the northern area of the front, around the Hohenzollern Redoubt, was held by the British 28th Division. Out of disrespect for the Kaiser, they nick named one of their captured German trenches “Big Willie”. It was here that Sergeant Charles Holmes, serving with the 2nd Kings Own Royal Lancasters was killed in action. In 1911 Holmes’ was a baker living in Angel Street close to the High Street with his widowed father. He enlisted at the end of 1912 and his Regiment arrived on the Western Front in January 1915. On 13 October the 7th Suffolks were in the southern area of the battlefield to the east of Loos and in old German trenches known as the “Hairpin”. The Suffolks were particularly vulnerable as they were very close to the German trenches. At 2 o’clock in the afternoon an unsuccessful British attack was made and at some point Private Frederick Harvey of Hadleigh was killed. In 1911 Harvey was an assistant in a clothing shop in the town. He seems have responded in August 1914 to Lord Kitchener’s appeal, as the 7th Suffolks were in the first New Army (K1). He was trained and arrived in France on 30 July 1915. Both Charles Holmes and Frederick Harvey are remembered on the Loos Memorial. By mid October the Battle of Loos was over and both sides settled in to their new positions. The result was a gain to the British of a 7km front to a depth of nearly 4 km.

The valuable French coal fields were still far from being captured and the losses largely due to wounds were 50,000 men and 2,000 officers. Meanwhile at Gallipoli, the chaos continued. After the tragic events of mid August at Suvla Bay, the 1/5th Suffolks had been moved 4 miles to the south. By September they were in ‘Norfolk Street’ trenches on Hill 60, an area of high ground that overlooked the Australians and New Zealanders in Anzac Cove. The Suffolks were now severely depleted, at one point down to a quarter of their original strength. They had to endure horrendous conditions with flies during the heat of the day, vermin at night and water that was not fit to drink. Dysentery and diarrhoea were rampant and shell fire continued day and night. There was slight improvement by mid October as the weather began to cool. It was here on 8 October that Private William Mulley of Hadleigh lost his life; he was the brother of Albert Victor Mulley who had been killed the previous month in Flanders. William Mulley aged 32 was a farm labourer who had joined the territorials in September 1914. Leaving wife Lucy and children Percy 10, Joyce 6 and Leslie 2 at home at 53 George Street. Of the 17 Hadleigh men who died in Gallipoli, William was the only one to have a marked grave. He is buried in Hill 60 cemetery. The blind optimism of the military commanders and the British government resulted in more men being sent to the Gallipoli Peninsula.

GREAT WAR NEWS OCTOBER 1915 (as reported in the Suffolk and Essex Free Press of the day)
Wed 6 Oct The defect in the postal service between England and the Dardanelles appears to be a big one … there is long delays and non-delivery of letters and parcels sent to officers and men of the Mediterranean Expeditionary Force. The matter has been raised with the Postmaster General and problem seems to lie ‘on the shores of the Mediterranean.’ Most of those wounded at Gallipoli are making favourable progress: Privates Allan Grimsey is in hospital in London, Geoffrey Pizzey is on his way back to England and Cecil Claud Leeks is in a tented convalescent camp at Ghain Tuffieka in Malta. Mon 18 Oct Fifty-six members of the 2/5 Battalion Rifle (City of London) under the command of Major Bland left Ipswich for a series of route marches. After a circuitous tramp of seventeen miles they reached Hadleigh about three o’clock in the afternoon. Upon learning of their arrival arrangements were quickly made for holding a smoking evening at the King’s Head Hotel at seven o’clock. The chairman of the Urban District Council, Mr P H Wilson, heartily welcomed the soldiers to the town & in his concise & well-pointed address incidentally mentioned that 407 Hadleigh men had responded to the call of their King and Country out of a population of 3,200. There was no difficulty finding talent to entertain the company, in fact, had time permitted the concert could have continued for at least another hour. The 2/5 Batt. Rifle Brigade started on its second march at 9.30 on Tuesday morning.

From the Sheep Pen By the time you are reading this the Hadleigh Year of the Sheep celebrations will have come to an end. The High Street is now void of bunting which is in store and available for hire. The most tactile of the ‘created’ sheep have been transported to the dementia wing of the Magdalen House Care Centre for the enjoyment of the residents. The rest of the flock will be part of a nativity scene in Ipswich. A no waste recycling exercise and a mini-legacy of HYOS too. Prior to the re-distribution of the sheep, the HYOS & Fidelis Charity Fashion Show was held in the Guildroom and was well supported. Attendees enjoyed a selection of sporty and dressy outfits in rich seasonal colours adeptly modelled by several familiar Hadleigh faces. The Hadleigh Boxford Medical Practice Charitable Trust will benefit from this evening. With the HYOS celebrations ending with the Grand Finale in and around St Mary’s Church on 26th September it is impossible to report on those activities in this column. All that will have to wait until next month. However, it’s not quite all over as HADS will be presenting their sheep themed variety show at 7pm on 10th October at URC Church. Variety is the key to this show as organiser, Trev Clark, has filled the bill with music, magic, comedy and much more. Tickets will be £5.00 and on sale at Keith Avis Newsagents. Thanks to all who supported the Ewe Know Quiz especially those of you who returned your sheets for a chance to win one of the three money prizes. Winners’ names will appear in this column next month. The answers are below so you can kick yourself because, of course, you knew it all the time. Many people have asked the members of the HYOS Coordinating Committee what will come after the sheep. Apart from us all living in sheep-free house once again, we are planning to elevate our ovine friend to loftier heights just outside the town. There is a hope and plan afoot to create a distinctive sheep shape high on the edge of Hadleigh as a permanent reminder of the town’s heritage and the HYOS celebrations. 10th Oct URC Church HADS Variety Show with sheep ‘happenings’. 7pm All ages welcome.

HADLEIGH TOWN COUNCIL Report of the Meeting of the Planning Committee held on 20th August 2015 Present: Councillors: Angland (Chair), Fraser, Free, Haylock, Monks, Sheldrick, Wilson, Whiting, Wiltshire and Young APOLOGIES FOR ABSENCE Apologies for absence had been received from Councillors: Matthews, Byrne and Haines. These apologies were accepted. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST Councillor Whiting declared a nonpecuniary interest in planning application B/15/00928/FHA – 7 Lister Road as he is a close neighbour. COUNCILLOR RESIGNATION The Chair reported an e.mail received from Councillor Boxford advising that he will no longer be a member of the Planning Committee. His resignation from the Committee was accepted. MINUTES The Minutes of the Meeting of the Committee held on the 16th July 2015 was confirmed as a correct record and signed. MATTERS ARISING There were no matters arising. TOWN AND COUNTRY PLANNING The Committee considered the applications for Planning Consent, details of which are listed below and upon which the following decisions were reached:B/15/00657/FUL 51 High Street. Repair of existing roof slates. Re-roofing with existing slates. Removal of structural column at ground floor, in restaurant. Block up existing internal door at ground floor. Form a new internal door opening in existing ground floor wall. Refusal was recommended (Voting was unanimous). Refusal was recommended as the work already carried out to the building includes work not included on the planning application received. It was felt that this application made a mockery of the planning process as the work has been carried out without agreement. The signage at the front of the building has been changed but the application states no change to the external appearance of the building would take place. This change should require a separate application. A cap has been placed on the top of the extractor fan which is now causing distress to neighbours and this work is not mentioned on the application. The Committee request that the District Councillor call in this application for decision by the Development Committee and to ensure a site visit takes place prior to the decision being made. Although the Enforcement Officer has been called to the site on two occasions it has been disappointing that the work has continued at unsocial hours causing more distress to neighbours. B/15/00894 Hadleigh United Reformed Church, Market Place. Application for Advertisement Consent – installation of 1 no. non-illuminated fascia sign on front elevation. Approval was recommended (Voting was unanimous) B/15/00895/FUL Plant Parts Limited, 1-2 Clifford Finch Way. Creation of additional first floor office accommodation with new fire escape staircase to ground floor & insertion of windows at first floor level. Approval was recommended (Voting was unanimous) B/15/00922/TPO 17 Castle Road. Removal of epicormics growth from row of Lime Trees, covered by Tree Preservation Order BT100/G1. Approval was recommended (Voting was unanimous) B/15/00923/FUL Highcroft, Lady Lane. Erection of 2 no. two-storey detached dwellings and construction of new shared vehicular access and hardstanding parking area (following the demolition of existing dwelling). Refusal was recommended (Voting was unanimous). The application is still overdevelopment of the site and all previous comments made by the Committee still stand. B/15/00928/FHA 7 Lister Road. Erection of part two-storey, part single-storey rear extension and front porch; insertion of first-floor side window – variation to design approved under B/15/00009/FHA (openable fanlight). Approval was recommended (Voting was unanimous) B/15/00939/FHA 7 Calais Street. Erection of two storey side extension and single storey rear extension (after demolition of existing single storey extension(s) and garage); Erection of car port. Approval was recommended (Voting was unanimous) Hadleigh Town Council should like to report that the £500 grant to Pauline Thrower Counselling shown in the Town Council July minutes in the September edition - was in fact a grant towards the 2016 Dying Matters event. The grant request was made by Pauline Thrower but the cheque was made payable to St. Mary's Hadleigh PCC. Hadleigh Town Council should like to apologise for any confusion caused. Also we are preparing details of a coach trip and also Christmas events.

NEIGHBOURHOOD PLAN The Chair advised that a popup session had been held at the Leisure Centre targeted at the 30/40 year old sector. Pop up events will continue and the schools will be contacted once the summer holidays are over to obtain young people’s views for inclusion on the plan. The responses already received will be collated and will be put with the survey results for a data base of responses. The Chair is in the process of arranging a formal meeting in order to draw up the formal action plan. PLANNING TRAINING Councillor Monks had raised several issues following the recent Planning Training Course: i) Could the Clerk find out if a judicial review would be covered by the Town Council’s insurance policy? ii) Can Babergh District Council be requested to include letters of support or objection on their website? The Chair advised that this request had been made in the past and is something that should be happening but to date has not materialised. iii) Could Hadleigh Town Council be advised as to whether there was still an opportunity to negotiate Section 106 monies on the proposed 250 houses? The Chair advised that this had already been agreed. iv) Should the Committee make Babergh District Council aware that it has access to the ombudsman? Councillor Haylock advised that the ombudsman had been used in the past but has no powers to change any decision made. v) Could a Planning Officer be invited to attend a Planning Meeting in order that questions can be asked and an explanation received as to the process the District Council take on planning applications.

Letter www.layham.org from Layham Parish Council The main matters discussed at the Parish Council meeting on 26 August were: • Public Forum A parishioner expressed concern at the two Mustang aircraft that flew over Layham regularly from Raydon. The Clerk said the Mustangs had been flying at a private show held for the families of American pilots stationed there during the war; however, the planes also flew when there was no organised event taking place. It was agreed that she would contact Raydon Airfield Committee to ask what safeguards were in place. • Police report There had been one reported crime since the last meeting: a gate to an enclosure containing pheasants had been found open and a number of the birds were dead; possibly victims of an attack by a dog. The Chairman urged people to complete the survey that University Campus Suffolk was carrying out in partnership with the Police, to help them understand people’s perceptions of crime, anti-social behaviour and local policing services in Suffolk. The results of the survey would feed into a project currently underway to identify where cost savings could be made in light of government cuts to policing budgets. • District Council report Babergh and Mid Suffolk had instigated a number of programmes to ensure they were able to meet the challenges facing local authorities in the coming years. Cllr John Ward said no decision had yet been made on office accommodation for Babergh and Mid Suffolk DCs, but he felt it unlikely that the existing buildings in Needham Market and Hadleigh would be used; there was a possibility that ‘satellite’ offices might be introduced. With regard to Layham’s playing field being used by young people from Hadleigh, JW had spoken to his Hadleigh colleagues who would raise the issue with the Town Council. However, he said there was a feeling that as people from Layham also used Hadleigh’s facilities, it should not be a problem. MW said the difference was that the Town Council managed areas in Hadleigh for organised sport, but there were no areas for an informal ‘kick around’, hence the appeal of Layham’s playing field – which was owned and maintained by the community. • County Council report The Chairman said he was pleased to note the launch of the first Suffolk Walking Strategy. However, this did raise the issue of maintenance of – for example – the pavement between Layham and Hadleigh and footpaths in general. Some parts of traditional footpaths had been inaccessible for many years. Cllr Jones said that Raydon Parish Council had raised similar concerns and he had raised the issue with the Health & Wellbeing Board. In response to a question from JDC, GJ confirmed that, currently, only Babergh and Mid Suffolk charged for garden waste collection; if people preferred not to pay for a bin, they would be encouraged to compost their waste. Discussions about possible devolution were continuing and this issue would go to the Suffolk Leaders’ Group in early September. • Community Payback Project The Chairman had met John Wesley, Placement Coordinator, to discuss whether the Project might be able to assist with clearing the verge on the B1070; due to the close proximity to the road, bends and fast moving vehicles, this was not something they could take on without traffic management, which would be too expensive. However, Mr Wesley had also visited the playing field and had agreed to bring a working party on 28 September to tidy this up by weeding, strimming and cutting back.

Advance Notice – Hot Sunday Lunch Hot Sunday Lunch 22 November 12.30 pm at the Village Hall. Full details next month. Path to the Church It is good to see the path between the gate and the church has been repaired and new tarmac put down. Thanks to The Hadleigh Thrift Shop, and our County Councillor, for contributing towards the cost of the work. Ash dieback Our countryside is very likely to change dramatically over the next decade as an infection attacks ash trees. The infection is known as Chalara and causes leaf loss, crown dieback, bark lesions and, eventually, death of the tree. The infection is most virulent in young trees – older trees may resist for sometime although branches may die back in crowns as in the photograph. The disease has entered the UK from the continent – thus East Anglia is the first to suffer. The Woodland Trust has launched a pilot planting project to try to counteract the consequences of this disease for the landscape and wildlife. They are offering subsidised packs of 45 native trees (other than ash) for planting in hedgerows, verges, field margins and watersides. It is hoped that landowners and managers will apply for one or more of the packs at a third of the actual cost – the packs include 40-60cm saplings, protection tubes and stakes. The cost is £60 or £1.33 each tree. If young trees planted this winter – they will be taking hold by the time ash trees begin to die and the effect on the landscape will not be as dramatic as it will be if no action is taken. It will be farm land that can absorb most trees but there could be owners of substantial gardens who would like Chalara attacking the crown of a to help and could absorb one of more trees. Small gardens would not be mature ash suitable for native woodland trees. To enquire about purchasing one of these subsidised Disease Recovery Packs please contact the Woodland Trust on plant@woodlandtrust.org.uk or on 0330 333 5303 If you have space for just one or two trees please contact the Parish Clerk on layhampc@gmail.com The Village Hall is looking good What an amazing change has taken place in the Village Hall! A light coloured false ceiling has been built and new inset lighting installed. The effect is dramatic. You wouldn’t know you were in a building that is nearly 100 years old.

• Ash dieback The Chairman said that ash trees would probably disappear completely over the next ten years as a result of ash dieback. The Woodland Trust had launched a scheme whereby they would provide sixty native trees as suitable substitutes, together with canes and plastic sleeves, at a subsidised cost of £45 per pack. It was agreed by MW to let as many parishioners as possible know about the scheme and gauge the level of interest. • Possible ‘Village Keeper’ The Chairman said another Parish Council employed a part-time ‘village keeper’, or handyman, through an agency. He suggested that the Layham PC should look into the possibility of paying to do something similar for a set time – probably six months – to see what difference it made to the village. After that trial period, parishioners would be asked whether they thought it was a good idea, and whether they would be prepared to agree to a small increase in the precept to cover the cost in future.

It was Saturday September 12th and about 50 people gathered at the top of Mill Lane to wait for the cyclists competing in the Aviva Tour of Britain to pass by. It was a smooth operation with clear passage assured by the teams of cars and motor cyclists passing through in advance. Pretty well spot on the predicted time, the first three cyclists, who had opened up a gap of over a minute on the bulk of the competitors, sped by. Then the main group passed - Sir Bradley Wiggins was in there somewhere having apparently suffered a puncture. It was all over very quickly but it was a sunny afternoon and a nice atmosphere as the small crowd enjoyed the event.

What a joy to drive straight through Benton Street on Friday 11th September as not a single car was parked due to the men's cycle race. As a family, who have to contend with Benton Street sometimes four times a day, we make a request. Please could there be a cycle race every day. There has obviously been places for all of these cars to park while the event was on, it would be so much easier for this to happen on a permanent basis. I understand that people live down there and have every right to park by their house but on Sunday night and Monday morning it was back to the usual chaos. There was a van parked on the double yellow lines as you turn into Benton Street from Station Road so you couldn't see passed them and another van parked at the other end of the row of cars on double yellow lines and the same inconsiderate parking all the way down Benton Street. Big sigh. Julie Stone and family, Raydon
Dear Sir, On Monday 21st September residents from Magdalen House and other community members enjoyed a breath taking performance from the Glass House Dance Company on behalf of Suffolk Artlinks. A touch of light was the tile and two amazing dancers mesmerised us all as we followed their journey in the attic discovering hidden treasures and finding light in darkness. The Hadleigh Dementia Action Alliance was incredibly proud to be the host to this amazing event. Thank you all for attending. Tracey Loynds, Chair HDAA
Dear Sir, Two Contrasting Films for October Friday 9th October at 7.30 pm
A LITTLE CHAOS (12) We welcome a costume drama to our programme after a long absence. This British romantic comedy could be called “Romance in a Garden”! During the court of King Louis XIV an important project is conceived for the gardens of Versailles and following extensive interviews a woman is appointed who has an unconventional sense of gardening. Played by Kate Winslett, Sabine de Barra is a strong willed landscape designer who challenges sexual and class barriers and becomes romantically entangled whilst working on the Versailles project. This film, which also stars Alan Rickman and Stanley Tucci, will appeal to our patrons who love period charm and sumptuous costumes. Friday 23rd October at 7.30 pm
THE WATER DIVINER (15) In this, his first film as director and actor, Russel Crowe stars as Joshua Conner, an Australian who returns to Constantinople to locate his three sons who went missing at Gallipoli. Conner eventually encounters the people responsible for the crimes against his sons and, as in “The Railwayman” which we showed last year, the film reveals its hand as a moral fable about the power of forgiveness. Joshua possesses an unusual gift of knowing where water is located – possibly even a sixth sense giving the film an almost allegorical depth. As it was only a minor release in the UK, we are delighted to present this Australian made film with its great ingredients of interest and action and, above all, it’s a crowd pleaser! During both presentations we will be selling our ever popular refreshments – teas, coffee, fruit juice and choc ices – milk or plain. Admission to both films is £3.50 on the door.
Following the tragedy on the beach in Tunisia in June, Graham and Mary Boon and family, whose son-in-law Phil died that day and whose daughter Allison Heathcote sustained terrible injuries, would like to thank all those people who supported them during the past months. Special thanks to our families, neighbours, friends, even strangers, for their messages of comfort, cards, phone calls and visits. Our thanks to the churches of Hadleigh and the surrounding area for their continued prayers and kind thoughts. To Philip Munson and the staff at Beestons, to Pat and Bert Woodberry and Julie and Peter, our wonderful neighbours, for taking care of home and garden in our seven week absence. To Ann, Jenny and Roy for taking good care of the allotment and to our good friends at Whatfield Carpet Bowls Club for their kindness and generosity. Allison is now back in Ipswich Hospital and continues to make a remarkable recovery. Graham & Mary Boon
Dear Sir, This is why I love Hadleigh. Finding myself unexpectedly redundant, after having accepted a seasonal job in North Devon, I went for a stroll in Hadleigh High Street for some retail therapy in the summer sun. A trip to the bank’s ATM was followed by a moment of distraction and I forgot to take the cash from the machine. I returned some minutes later to enquire sheepishly (well, it is the year of the sheep!) as to whether I could retrieve my money, when the kind lady behind me said “This must be yours, then, I was just coming to hand it in.” So thank you, lovely stranger, whoever you may be, I hope you get to read this and appreciate my gratitude. You made my day. Sarah Thompson
Dear Sir, For those who may not know, from the 31 August 2015 Beestons' 7am bus from Hadleigh to Ipswich has been withdrawn, notwithstanding the timetables still show it as a scheduled service. For those of us who relied on this bus, it is badly missed and I would encourage readers to contact or write to their local councillor &/or the Portfolio Holder for Transport at SCC (Endeavour Hse) demanding the service be reinstated by whatever means.

Oh dear! Kenny is so dog tired after a day out with his friend Pixie that he missed his deadline. Never mind, it’s Ollie to the rescue again with our news this month. By the time you read this, the winners of our Facebook Photo Competition will be known. Everyone is looking forward to seeing our 2016 calendar which will feature the best entries. The judges had a difficult job, naturally I was not entered to give the others a fair chance! Back at the Sanctuary, I kept out of the way when some building materials appeared over the front hedge recently, straight off the back of a Buildbase lorry. Once unloaded Tony, the driver, stopped to Hadleigh Buildbase driver meet Chester, one of the dogs to be rehomed, with Sesaw dog Chester before returning to Hadleigh. awaiting rehoming. Once again we have lots of black and black/white kittens, one poor girl had SEVEN! Mother thinks herself quite the big game hunter. Went out trapping and guess what? Returned with more black cats! Nobody wants us but please do not pass by. Look beyond our colour to discover our personalities. Now the bonfire season is upon us please check for hibernating hedgehogs before you light up. There are so few of our prickly friends left to help in our gardens that each one is precious. The fundraisers are holding an Autumn Sale with a Christmas flavour, 11-4pm on 25th October at Great Bentley Village Hall. Our big Christmas Fair and Annual Draw will be held on 15th November, 10-3pm at The Old School in Long Melford. I hope my cat’s eye view has been of interest. Kenneth may well fret over my little exposÊs but I’ll save them for another time. Mother is in need of my company on her evening rounds, then it will be back to a nice warm hay barn for another 80 winks for me, Ollie (the Black) Cat!

Don't be sheepish come to our events.. HADS have been busy over the past few months arranging and rehearsing for our events. Our next event is our variety show on the 10th October at the URC Church 7pm. This show is part of the "Year Of The Sheep" events and is the encore event to round it all up. The show is a mix of HADS drama, music, comedy and magic also featuring The Walking Sax, Elmsett Fellowship Brass Band, also VIP balloons who will be attempting to make a life time sheep and Taylor & Harry will be singing too. The show is open for all ages and tickets are £5 each on sale at Keith Avis NOW. Looking ahead to next year HADS are busy working on their next panto "Robin Hood Of Wolves Wood" which this year is kindly sponsored by The Hadleigh Thrift Shop. Yet again it will be held at St Mary's Church in January 2016 and is a mix pantomime, slapstick comedy and some fantastic toe tapping music. Like last year the panto has been locally written by Sarah-Jane Clarke and myself and features lots of local landmarks and references to Hadleigh. As you can see HADS has been so busy and also being involved with the Year Of The Sheep events too its been a brilliant year for all. To keep up with all whats happening check our our Facebook page and also our website www.hads.moonfruit.com ; Trev Clarke, Chairman of HADS hadleighents@aol.com

CHRISTMAS EVENT This year’s Christmas Street Lighting will take place on Sunday 6th December 2015 from 3 til 6pm in the Market Place
This Month I thought we'd take a look at one of the most beautiful stars in the night sky - The Garnet Star. Using the chart you will easily locate the star which is high up in the sky at this time of year and the colour picture attached, well, it doesn't do the star justice for its true appearance. This star is not just striking visually, but is also one of the largest stars in the Milking Way Galaxy and is around 19 times the size of our Sun and is classified as a red super giant. This star is at a magnitude of between 3.7 to 5.0 thus it is a variable star. This is because the star is in an advance state of its life. The star has exhausted virtually all of its hydrogen reserves and is now burning the byproduct of this, helium. The varying brightness also causes the star to appear orange at its brightness ( magnitude 3.7 ) and deep red as it dims down to magnitude 5.0, this is an optical illusion known as the Purkinje effect. The exciting factor of this star is that it is on our cosmic doorstep at a distance of 2,400 light years away and shines with the brightness of 600,000 of our Suns, this also makes it one of the brightest stars within our Galaxy. If the star could be moved to a distance of 32.6 light years from Earth, it would be of magnitude of -7.6 or 16 times brighter than Venus as seen from Earth skies. If Mu Cephei (the stars official name) was placed where our Sun is the outer atmosphere would reach out to the orbit of Saturn. Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars and Jupiter would be swallowed up. The surface temperature is also very "cold" compared to our Sun's surface. Our Sun has a surface temperature of a blistering 5,000 degrees C but Mu Cephei is by contrast "just" 3,700 degrees C. Also astonishingly enough water vapour was detected in the stars spectrum in 1964. Stars like Mu Cephei Live fast and die young as a rule. Our Sun has a life expectancy of 8-10 billion years but our subject has a life expectancy of just a few million years. Mu Cephei will one day explode in a Supernova and will look absolutely stunning in our Sky. When this happens is anyone's guess, it could be tomorrow or in a thousand years time, but it will happen eventually. Mu Cephei is also known as a HVS or Hyper Velocity Star. This could be because Mu Cephei was formed closer in to the centre of the Galaxy than it is today and the gravitational "sling-shot" effect from the super-massive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way has thrown it out from the centre and out to where it is today. It is moving away from us at a Radial Velocity of +20.63 km/s or 45,900 m.p.h but is escaping the Galaxy at 80.7 +/- 17.7 km/s or 180,900 m.p.h , and will one day be thrown out of the Milky Way to wonder through space on its own until it goes "Supernova". So do get out and observe this stunning star and remember it's not just a insignificant red dot, it has an interesting story to tell. Until next month, clear skies, Neil Norman Any questions please do contact me at my email address below. neilnormam-03@gmail.com

Stoke by Nayland Golf Club have won their first Essex County trophy after only seven years as members of the Essex Golf Union. Stoke Ladies have also been successful in 2015, winning the Bronze Shield, so this second win has made it a wonderful season for the club. In previous rounds the Norman Plum matches are played, simultaneously, home and away but in the final there is one neutral venue. The final was played on Sunday 13th September, against the very strong Chigwell Golf Club. The match was very competitive but Stoke were always in control. Tim Dickens and Dean Brace were the lead players out, and did not disappoint, going on to win 2 up. The second pair, Dan Goddard and Dan Brown, made their match look easy when they were five holes up after nine, going on to win 4 and 2. It was a different story for the third pair Trevor Warren and Ian Benson, who found themselves in a very tight match but they showed great resolve to win two up. Marcus Harden and Craig Morton were all square at the turn but managed to secure the fourth, and winning, point on the 17th hole. With the match won the Essex County officials called in the remaining matches but Gary Thomson and Chris Williamson had also won 4 and 2 and Keith Hodgson and Steve Evans were also two up with three to play. Team Captain John Sandford was presented with Norman Plum Trophy to cap a wonderful year for Stoke by Nayland Golf Club.

Newton Green has defeated Ufford Park in the Suffolk Junior Team Handicap cup to add another trophy to a golden season for the club’s juniors. The sixstrong team now goes forward to represent the county at Warley Park in the Eastern Region qualifying round of the Home Counties Championship on September 27. Newton has already won the three-player Suffolk team handicap (Stableford) cup and finished fourth out of 33 teams in the national final. This comes in a year when Newton’s Ellie Aldous is captain of the county’s junior girls, and Alice Barlow has won both the stroke and match play junior titles, as well as both continuing to represent the county ladies team. The latest stroke play team success was staged at Hintlesham, and Newton overcame Ufford, who they also beat in the Stableford final. The latest encounter was in doubt until late in the match, as several games went to the final few holes. With Jed Seeley, James Cooper and Kieron Sorrell having established a 3 – 1 lead, but Ufford performing strongly in the final two games, it needed the one-up Oli Page to gain at least a half from the remaining two holes to get Newton over the line. As it happened, an unfortunate mix up led to both Page and Mat McCreal playing the wrong balls. The Newton player was awarded the hole as his opponent had offended first, giving Newton overall victory. In the sixth match, Alex Iveson was two down, also on the 17th, but with the match decided, his game was conceded. Junior captain Connor Talbot, who did not appear in the final, but had played in two previous rounds, received the trophy from Suffolk Golf Union president Phil Platten. Scores. Newton names first: Seeley won 2 & 1 to Harry Fricker, Watts lost one down to George Fricker, Cooper won 5 & 4 to Tripp, Sorrell won one up to Robertson, Page won 2 & 1 to McGreal, Iveson lost 2 & 1 to Smith.
Hadleigh Cricket Club
Milden Singers
Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group Another season has flown by, as they always seem to do – not a classic, in terms of either cricket or weather, but there were many good things. None more so than the success of our Under-19 side in the inaugural ECB T20 competition – winning all three games in what looked a tough group, then reaching the Final where we were beaten by the hosts and favourites Mildenhall. The competition really did capture people’s imaginations, and it was great to see the Meadow packed for the two home matches on two very rare balmy midsummer nights. It was a peculiar campaign for the 1st XI. They lost their first five games, and did well to come second in some, but then after finally breaking their duck ended up winning their last six matches and finishing a very creditable 6th. Yet the threat of relegation hung over them right up to the final game. Kyle Tanner was the outstanding player once again, taking 43 wickets including a flurry of five wicket hauls in late season. Once he teamed up with Dominic Manthorpe there were few better new ball partnerships in Division 1. The batsmen struggled early on, but Dain Moreton finished with 732 runs and Tom Piddington nearly 500, while Ben Parker averaged nearly 40 in his debut season. The club was delighted to have two players, Manthorpe and Parker, win their first caps for Suffolk this summer. The 2nd XI’s season was almost a mirror image of the 1st’s: a brilliant first half, during which Ryan Phillips’s side squeaked home in some tight encounters and in early July were genuine promotion contenders. At one stage opening bat Marc Lloyd was averaging 80 (he fell away slightly to a frankly shabby 60!). However, only winning two out of the last nine games saw the team finish in mid-table – in fairness, probably a reasonable outcome at the start of the season given the team’s resources. Youngsters were given opportunities throughout and none grabbed his more than 15-year old Daniel Shanks, who regularly took the new ball and played several key innings, none better than the 32 at home against Ipswich, when he and Nadie Abdul rescued the team from a parlous 22-5. Our Sunday 2nd XI bounced back from relegation last year to win Division 5, a great achievement from Peter Tampion’s side, for whom the Lockes (father and son) were invaluable performers. It was another successful season for the junior section. Val Gladwell stepped into the shoes of Brian Fowler to do a brilliant job as junior co-ordinator, despite breaking her ankle in early May. The Boys Under-15s finished unbeaten, the Under-13s and Under-11s impressed everyone with their all-round skills, while several of our girls have made their debuts in senior cricket. Our new Under-9s side even played two matches. Winter well. Gary Wiles

Hadleigh United Football Club Sponsored by Hadleigh Tyre Group and Toppesfield Ltd www.hadleigh-utd.co.uk A very hot day at Mildenhall saw Hadleigh earn a point from a goalless draw. The next match was won by four goals to two at Whitton and then another great performance was good enough to win a hard match at Gorleston by two goals to one with Danny Thrower scoring both of them. A Vase match against Eton Manor at the Millfield resulted in Hadleigh scoring seven for a magnificent victory and a place in the next round. Scott Chaplin scored a hat trick against opposition reduced to ten men when their goalkeeper received a red card in the first half. While the first team have been playing some good stuff, it has also been a good time for the reserves who won their first three league matches starting with a narrow victory at Walsham. A five goal win followed at Newmarket with Sam Sharp scoring a hat trick. A win against Felixstowe by our Reserves was followed by a draw when Long Melford visited. The Thurlow Nunn youth team travelled to Wisbech in the first round of the F.A Youth Cup. We played well in the first half and scored first but the opposition scored four times for a convincing home win by four goals to one. Prize winners in the latest monthly draw were Louise Hay and Lee Baker. Winner of the ground improvement draw was S Cowle Electrical. Both draws were made by Rolf Beggerow at the Felixstowe Reserve match. Terry Adams

On Monday 14th September, the Royal British Legion played host to the Hadleigh Summer league Finals night. There was Singles and Pairs representative from all teams in addition to the team Knock Out to be played off on the night. The final of the team Knock Out was contested by the Cock Veterans and the Legion Arrows, the latter winning 3-0. The Pairs final featured Dave Willis and Bob Morphew from The Cock and Dan Johnson and Craig Warner from the Legion Arrows, with the Arrows winning 2-1. The Singles Final was fought out between Paddy Rooney of the George Dragons and Tom King of the Cockney Rebels. Tom won 2-0 to take the coveted title. The outcome of the league was hotly contested throughout the season and was a three-horse race until the final week, with The Hadleigh George winning by a narrow margin of only a games difference over the eventual runners-up, The Cock Veterans. Trophy Winners in full: League Winners: Hadleigh George Runner up: Cock Veterans Wooden Spoon: Hintlesham George Captain's Cup: Matt Daniels (George Dragons) Highest Checkout: Colin Hynard 160 (Hadleigh George) Singles winner: Tom King (Cockney Rebels) Runner up: Paddy Rooney (George Dragons) Pairs Winners: Dan Johnson/Craig Warner (Legion Arrows) Runner up: Dave Willis/Bob Morphew (The Cock) Knock Out Cup Winners: Legion Arrows Runner up: Cock Veterans Final League Table P W L D F A Pts Capt Wins Hadleigh George 18 16 2 0 129 51 32 10 Cock Veterans 18 16 2 0 127 53 32 10 Legion Arrows 18 15 2 1 124 56 31 8 Cockney Rebels 18 9 6 3 105 75 21 11 Legion Jets 18 8 8 2 98 82 18 9 George Dragons 18 7 10 1 78 102 15 12 The Cock 18 7 11 0 73 107 14 11 Legion Loungers 18 2 12 4 72 108 8 11 Brewers Arms 18 3 15 0 56 124 6 2 Hintlesham George 18 1 16 1 38 142 3 6 Thanks to Melvin Tilbury, John Martin and Andy Chilton for their work throughout the season and on the night.

Prizewinning Ladies from Hintlesham Golf Club Alison Mitchell and Jill Smith qualified for the National Grand Final of the Ping Ladies Fourball Better Ball Competition which was held recently at Guiseborough near Doncaster. Hundreds of golf clubs around the UK held a qualifying competition at their own clubs and the top 50 qualifiers are invited to play in the final. Returning a superb score of 40 points Ali and Jill won 9th place in the Grand Final. The girls said it was a wonderful experience and thoroughly enjoyed themselves. Jill too has much to celebrate as its her 65th birthday this year and this was the icing on the cake for her special year.
