Taking time out of his very busy schedule, Santa took time out to pop into Rendlesham to switch on the Christmas lights in the village square and wish everyone a very merry Christmas.

With mince pies and hot punch it was great to see so many people turn out to celebrate the start of the Christmas fesitivities.

A huge thank you to everyone who helped before, during and after the event .

Kyson eco crackers go with a bang!

Kyson Primary School and their PTFA have been working really hard this year to cut down on plastic used in school and at school fundraising events. We have learned that it is entirely possible to find eco-alternatives to festive favourites like crackers, and it is important as plastic can be so harmful to wildlife and is very wasteful of natural resources.

This Christmas our Headteacher, the Year 4's and a PTFA army, have made over 400 paper Christmas crackers for the school Christmas lunch. They were all plastic free and fully recyclable and worked just as well as normal crackers. The children had lots of fun opening them and really hope the 'plastic -free' message travels far and wide this Christmas!

With enough entries to start a bookshop our ‘Book Titles’ competition was very popular with 73 entries. Local Judge Mike Cowling ARPS worked quickly & confidently through the images selecting 6 with a top score of 20/20.

He was torn between two images, both by Rendlesham Resident Sue Garrod, finally deciding on ‘Arachnophobia’ as 1st place and ‘Alice through the Looking Glass’ as a runner up, her husband Robin left once again as another runner up with ‘Great Expectations’.

Our Next Meeting at the Quay Church, Woodbridge at 7:30 on 21st January 2020 is an Illustrated Talk ‘Give a Child a Camera’ by Norfolk Photographer Julian Claxton. Members will be donating cameras to help with the Charities work in Africa.

Sports Centre Site So that you are aware here is a copy of our response regarding this development.

To Council re Planning Application DC/19/3881/FUL | New convenience store, two shop units and associated car parking, service yard and pedestrian way, eleven affordable houses and associated car parking and ancillary works | Former Rendlesham Sports Centre Site Walnut Tree Avenue Rendlesham Suffolk IP12 2GF

Response on behalf of Greener Rendlesham objecting to the plan.

The submitted plans do not conform to the Rendlesham Neighbourhood Plan.

 Climate Emergency – Since Rendlesham Parish Council, East Suffolk District Council, Suffolk County Council and the national government have all declared Climate Emergencies it is essential that all new developments should take this very much into account. In particular the proposed plan needs to:  Not reduce the number of trees currently on the site from 14 to 2, rather there is a need to look to see how the number can be increased.  Not honour the car – approximately 50% of the proposed development is for roads, turning areas and car parking! Most people in Rendlesham live within 10 minutes walking distance of the centre. Having housing with car parking would likely increase car travel whereas creating local leisure facilities would likely reduce the need for car travel.  Serve the leisure needs of the community. An all-purpose pioneer eco-hub, for such as sports; theatre/cinema/concerts/dance; small outdoor covered swimming pool (similar to Eyke and could be used by Rendlesham school); reading/quiet games room and kitchen. Building it could utilise ideas and skills from the UEA sustainable building department, would be energy self-sufficient, could use the much cheaper eco-friendly methods which are now available and could be a local show-case centre.  Have shared Green Space e.g. orchard, community allotment, seating, outdoor table tennis and chess, and wildlife friendly.  Be pro-active in catering for the needs of the high proportion of young people in Rendlesham.  Funding. Additional funding for this development could be requested from the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) (as non-centrally located house building takes place in Rendlesham), from East Suffolk District Council and Suffolk County Council, National Lottery and other possible grants.

Our children (and parents) have loved it! Just some of the feedback we’ve had so far…

‘Well done, looks amazing!’ ‘It looks flippin awesome! Well done guys!’ ‘Looks wonderful, what a lovely environment for children to in. Well done everyone’ ‘Love it!’

How optimistic are you when considering the prospects for the New Year? How do you plan to make 2020 an even better year than 2019? What attitude do you need to motivate you each day in the coming New Year?

I read of a college girl who, as she tacked the New Year calendar to the wall, said: “It is going to be a beautiful year!” “How do you know?” asked her roommate. “Well,” she replied, “a day isn’t a long time, and I know it is going to be beautiful because I am going to take a day at a time and make it so. I will see that every one of those 365 days gets at least one beautiful thing into it through my efforts.” If you use an advert Her New Year motto might be, in the words of King David, “So teach us to number our days that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom” (Psalm 90:12). please mention that The word number in this Bible verse means you saw it in the “prepare.” King David realised his need for wisdom in order to carry out the daily responsibilities required of Rendlesham him, so he asks God to teach him to prepare for each day. Newsletter Will you “prepare your days” to make 2020 A Beautiful Year?
