Sadly, this month we will have said farewell to Canon Graham Noble. Graham has been working alongside me as Assistant Priest in our eight parishes for the last three years, and I know that we have all appreciated his ministry, his guitar playing and his sense of humour! Unfortunately he has not enjoyed good health for some time, and he has quite understandably decided that it is time to retire. We all wish him a very happy retirement and I ask you all to keep him in your prayers. Now the really good news. Our new Rector, Reverend David Burrell will be moving into the vicarage in early June and will be formally installed in Worlingworth Church on Thursday 26 th June at 7.30pm. Please do your best to come along to support him and make him welcome. David brings a wealth of experience as a parish priest, and we must expect and embrace the fresh input to our worship and Christian life that I am sure he will introduce. In chapter 3 of I Corinthians, St Paul likens ministers to gardeners – we are all God’s ‘garden’ and our ministers are charged by Him to tend to us, each with their own particular gifts which will be different to those who have gone before and those who will follow. With my prayers and best wishes. Ron The front cover picture is the second of a series of representations of our benefice patron saints: this month - Saint Mary of Wilby Regular events .

This was followed by the Wilby Parish Council Annual meeting. The Annual Parish Meeting over-ran its allotted time by more than an hour because there was so much to hear. The report from Wilby Parish Council included grateful thanks to Marian Ward for her work as a councillor and regrets that she had left during the year. A summary was provided of events leading to planning permission being granted for the Church Close housing development. Tracey Brinkley, Communities Officer (Enabling), Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Council, gave a presentation about Neighbourhood Plans, other more informal plans and available grants. A Report by Philippa Nunn about Wilby School during the previous year included details of a successful French exchange programme and outstanding achievements in academic, musical and sporting events. This was followed by a Report from Mrs Morton , Vice Chair of Wilby Women’s Institute which had seen an increase in members during the year. A Report from the Parochial Church Council looked forward to the arrival of a new vicar, David Burrell, at the end of June, almost a year since Fiona Newton’s retirement. The Coronation Hall Report was full of the improvements to the building during the last year, including refurbished kitchen and toilets. District Councillor Stuart Gemmill was starting his final year as Councillor and highlighted developments in Mid Suffolk including the Incinerator at Great Blakenham which was nearing completion and the possibility of a biomass power station at Mendlesham and a gas-powered power station on Eye Airfield. County Councillor Guy McGregor had been chairman of Suffolk County Council during the year and had allocated part of his Locality Budget for Coronation Hall improvements. The Police Report was provided by our Police Community Support Officer Kane Martin based at Eye. There were 5 crimes in Wilby reported during the last year, two of which were theft. Our PCSO can be contacted by dialling 101. Safer Neighbourhood Newsletters are on the Wilby website under the Notice Board section. The Annual Parish meeting draft minutes and full copies of all the reports are now on the Wilby website at wilby.onesuffolk.net. Go to the Parish Council page and select the Parish Meeting section on the left hand side. The Wilby Parish Council Annual Meeting saw re-election of Ian Williamson as Chairman for the coming year. Unfortunately, there were no candidates for co-option to the Council to fill the vacancy created by the departure of Marian Ward. Under the Neighbourhood Planning agenda item the presentation given at the Annual Parish meeting earlier in the evening was noted and the Parish Council would continue to monitor developments on behalf of Wilby residents. Draft minutes will be agreed at the next regular meeting to be held in the Coronation Hall on Wednesday 2nd July 2014 at 7.30pm before being posted on the Parish notice board and website.

NEWS FROM WILBY SCHOOL Where is the time going – almost half term already! As usual it has been a very busy time for the school. On the sporting front our year five children came third and our year six children won the small schools rugby tournament. The year six team have the added distinction of being the only team to win all of their games. More success followed in the first round of the National School gymnastic competition. Our team from Chestnut Class came third; the team from Willow Class came second. This means they are now in the County Finals which are in July. Just before Easter our swimming team also put in a sterling performance to finish fourth in the local schools swimming gala. Well done to all the children and everyone involved behind the scenes which make such successes possible. In school the hard work continues with our year six children having worked hard for the Government SAT tests which took place mid-May. The children have also been busy creating an art project - a large banner representing the School, the village of Wilby and the surrounding area.
