Don't Miss Rita's Charity Village Tea Party In March 2017 SPRING IS ON THE WAY! You may remember that in late 2015 members of the Gardening Club planted several hundred daffodil bulbs all round Battisford & Combs. This year we are hoping that villagers and visitors will enjoy an even bigger and better display. The picture , taken last year ,is the first showing of bulbs planted by the Memorial bench at the end of Tannery Road., overlooking Combs Church. DON’T MISS RITA’S CHARITY VILLAGE TEA PARTY IN BATTISFORD VILLAGE HALL IN AID OF ANTHONY NOLAN TRUST Sunday 12th March from 2pm. Details on page 6 1 Battisford Village Hall Management Committee Regular users of the village hall will know that during 2016 alterations and improvements have been carried out to keep the hall well maintained and an asset to the village. The works have included installing a projector and screen for all hall users, the replacement of the old kitchen with a brand new one and improvements to the Committee Room giving the Pre-School a much more secure storage facility. The next project in the upkeep of the hall is to look at the floor, most of which is the original school floor, this has to undergo continual maintenance to keep it looking good and fit for purpose. We are hoping along with fund raising events to secure grant aid to enable us to replace the flooring and joist structure beneath. To commence fund raising for these major works we held a Christmas Ball at Ringshall Village Hall, despite not getting quite the support we had hoped for the event was a great success and enjoyed by all who attended, and certainly put us all in the mood for Christmas. Pictures of the event can be seen on our website, along with details of future functions, hall hire charges, clubs and ‘what’s on at the Village Hall’ have a look and see if anything takes your fancy. Looking forward to 2017 we will have celebrated a belated Chinese New Year in February, have a fashion show planned in May and hopefully another race night in the summer, which proved a great success in 2016. If you have any ideas for events you would like to see held at the village hall or would like to join the committee please contact us at [email protected] Christmas Ball—dinner then dancing the night away! 2 Santa’s Village People Santa and his helpers with the sleigh were out again just before Christmas and raised a fantastic £1055 for this years designated charity -helping the families of local children with cancer. A big thank you to everyone who contributed, and also to the Punch Bowl for their hospitality. See you all next Christmas! Carol Wright. Carpet Bowls Apologies to the ‘carpet bowlers’ as I described their game as indoor bowls in the last edition of Barclif. Indoor bowls is basically a version of the outdoor game whereas carpet bowls is played on a shorter mat and with smaller bowls allowing it to be played in venues such as the Battisford Community Centre.

We were both honoured and pleased that the Bishop of Dunwich, the Rt Revd. Dr. Mike Harrison came to take our Holy Communion Service on November 6th. After the service Bishop Mike went up the stairs to our Musicians’ Gallery. We talked to him about its construction in 1841 by William Reeve, a joiner, of Needham Market. On to December – the decision to move our Christmas Fayre to the Punchbowl on December 10th proved a success and we were pleased that a good number of people came to support us. Thank you to Luke and the Punchbowl for their hospitality. It has been our practice for several years to bring gifts to church for Lighthouse Women’s Refuge in Ipswich. These were brought to the services on 4th & 18th December and Caroline delivered them to the Refuge who were most appreciative. As usual we held our Christmas Eve Candlelit Carol Service – another joyous occasion. The Architects Quinquennial visit took place in December and we will soon receive his report on what we will need to raise for Church repairs. Monday April 3rd 7pm. Annual Parochial meeting will be held in the Church. All welcome.

As a child, I loved Easter. What’s not to love? There was time off of school (always welcome!) and we got plenty of a chocolate eggs. Even now I’m still partial to a bag of mini eggs or even an Easter biscuit! In recent years Easter egg hunts, have become more popular. Um…and there was something about Jesus. Any of this sound familiar? I’m not going to condemn any tradition that results in family get togethers or a bit of a celebration, but per- haps there’s a better way. I realise now that the Easter celebration I grew up with was all about me: my stash of eggs, my fun. I went to church, because that’s what my family did, but it was something to get through before I got Chocolate! You know today, Easter is still all about me…at least that’s what Jesus would say. He lived in our challenging, abusive, hurt-filled world for me. He died a brutal death, at the hands of hateful people for me. He defeated death and lives on, for me. Romans 5:8 says, “But God demonstrates His love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” Jesus was the once for all sacrifice for the sins of all who would believe in Him. At the end of the day that’s the true message of Easter, it’s all about what Jesus did for me……and you! Could you spend some time reflecting on God’s eternal expression of love that oc- curred at that very first Easter? You may hear us playing and singing Easter songs around the village on Good Friday. Why not join us for as service on Easter Sunday at 10.45 or 6.30. Have a great Easter Pastor Iain COFFEE & CHAT AT THE FREE CHURCH Do you enjoy meeting with others? If so why not come and spend time at with us and others from the locality for a cup of tea or coffee. Alongside the tea and coffee there is an optional paper quiz to fill in and a time to chat. The morning session is from 10.00 – 12.00 on the last Wednesday of each month.

  • Enhancing Natural Beauty Through Management
    L4L19 SV5 Summary Sheet Site Visit Title: Enhancing Natural Beauty Through Management Description: We met with conservation and business experts in the field of protected landscape management, and visited their projects across both AONB’s, which highlighted examples of site management and condition monitoring in time of climate change. Themes: Managed realignment of the Orwell estuary for habitat management and species conservation and the beneficial use of dredging and re-charge to create intertidal and saltmarsh habitat. Woodland management techniques addressing re-wetting of an ancient woodland and natural regeneration and ash dieback. Outcomes and Outputs: Output 1: Production of a single page summary to be produced by the Leaders on what has been learnt. Output 2: Delegates will have visited several estuarine and woodland sites, to discover how management techniques can help these habitats in time of climate change. Outcome 1: Delegates will have learnt how the intertidal area and salt marshes – which are being degraded by coastal squeeze and sea level rise – can be restored and created. Outcome 2: Delegates will discover practical and non-intervention techniques to manage woodland habitats for the future. Outcome 3: Delegates will change their work practices in light of information learned. Lessons Learnt: • Please see the following link for a detailed history and breakdown of the managed realignment process at Suffolk Wildlife Trust (SWT) Trimley Marshes and the benefits that have occurred as a result, http://www.ecrr.org/Portals/27/Trimley,%20Suffolk.pdf Despite the many benefits, there are on-going concerns regarding disturbance to ground-nesting birds, from walkers, dogs and horses along the Footpath and Bridleway that were created after the realignment.

This year when we returned the tree was recovering and we started to build the small memorial. This is now installed and we are very pleased with it. In the process of digging the post holes the children of Trudy Wild who was there to take photographs, found a young oak with its acorn still attached. They took it home and it is now in a flower pot ready to grow on. Just think, in a few years time it will grow into another splendid Oak tree. I would like to thank all my friends for their help: Roger Lane for the donation of his wonderful painting of Acton Airfield Photo’s Trudi Wild with aircraft being serviced for the next mission.

The photographs, going back to the 1890s and first shown in Boxford church during the Diamond Jubilee weekend in 2012, had been compiled by Groton’s history recorder, Jeremy Osborne, who provided interesting background details about many of the images, with additional comments being added by David Elliott. Prior to the show, there was an opportunity to look at other photographs and memorabilia on the display boards around the hall. Refreshments were provided by Pat Kennedy Scott and her famed catering team. Thank you to Jeremy and Pat and to all who made this another most enjoyable and successful evening, and one which had the added benefit of a welcome £302.50 boost to Groton church funds. GROTON CHURCH TO FEATURE ON NATIONAL TV St Bartholomew’s Church, Groton, and its historic link with John Winthrop, one of the leading Pilgrim Fathers who sailed to New England on board the Arbella in 1630 to become first Governor of Massachusetts Bay Colony, features in an hour-long documentary to be broadcast on BBC4 at 9.00 pm on Wednesday 24th April. The programme, A World Reshaped by Writing is the third of a three-part series, The Century that Wrote Itself, produced and directed by Claire Whalley, in which writer Adam Nicolson examines the importance of writing in the 17th century and how, at a time of great social and political upheaval—including the Civil War and the beheading of King Charles— it was used as a means of escape and of fighting for what people believed.
