Bedfield Village Fete July 6th 2019

The first meeting to discuss the 2019 Bedfield Village Fete was held at the sports pavilion on Thursday the 31st January 2019. Even allowing for the very cold weather, it was very disappointing that only six members attended, with three apologies accepted. Once again this highlights the serious problems facing the organising committee, both in keeping the fete vibrant and in actually providing the activities on the day. We already know that this year will be extremely challenging regarding the latter. For the first time ever, a serious discussion took place at the start of the meeting as to whether it would be possible to have a fete this year at all. However, it was decided to once more proceed with our plans for 2019, subject to receiving support from the village. Whilst many people are involved in the fete each year, with unsung heroes assisting in the planning, collection and many other aspects, we will need much more help on the actual fete day. Without funds raised from the fete, the Sports Club would cease to exist, with the resultant loss to the village of the tennis court, the pavilion and even the use of our beautiful field for recreational purposes and the Gardening Club meadow. In addition, plans now in hand to relocate and replace the children’s play area, plus the pos- sibility of a second tennis court would be in serious doubt.

The next fete planning meeting will be held on Monday 11th March 2019 at the Bedfield Sports Pavilion, commencing at 2000. PLEASE attend, where any ideas for the fete will be warmly welcomed, as well as offers of help on fete day. We only need a couple hours of your time on fete day and its actually great fun. If you can help in any way, further details can be obtained from Geoff Robinson on 01728 685425 or [email protected]

RON AND LYNN ORAMS. The seventeenth of March is the last service with Ron for six months. He will be 70 and church rules mean that he has to have a six month break. We are sure that at the end of that time we shall see him again in Worlingworth when he gets Permission to Officiate from the Bishop. His services here have always been really enjoyed and we shall miss his cheerful and down to earth manner for a while. After the service on the seventeenth we will have light refreshments. Please join us to give thanks for all that Ron and Lynn do for us at St. Mary's. MOTHERING SUNDAY. Our Mothering Sunday service is in St. Mary's Church on the 31st of March. (Please check grid for times) St. Mary's Ladies Guild will provide posies for the children to give to their Mothers and Grandmothers as a thank you token for all the love and care they have received during the year. We hope lots of children and young people will join us for this special day. We look forward to seeing you all.

Bert Stanford would like to thank all those who donated so generously towards 'Tools with a Mission' and 'Mission Aviation Fellowship' to celebrate his 70th birthday on 10th February. £470 will be divided between the two charities. I had a very happy day and thank you for3 your cards and best wishes.

If you do have any concerns about parking being illegal or dangerous, then please contact the local Safer Neighbourhood Team officer [email protected] and they will investigate.

Get Active As part of whole school approach to getting more active, the children will be learning this month about how to look after themselves and improve their health through special weekly sessions run by Suffolk County Council. They will explore a healthy diet, why we need sleep, learn about body hygiene and getting enough exercise through lots of hands-on and fun activities. Alongside this, we are having a whole school Gardening Competition to grow the tastiest and healthiest fruit and vegetables in our class raised beds – ready for a grand show in the summer term so as spring arrives, the children will be planning and researching their seed choices.

Explorer Book Week This year’s exciting book week takes place from March 4th – March 8th when the children will become explorers for the week! Through their reading and cross-curricular learning, they will explore the characters, events and themes in the story of Pocahontas leading to the publication of a whole school version of the story with illustra- tions and cover designs by the end of the week. Plenty of opportunities to explore the world of books are planned for the week with: Cosy Reading sessions for parents, Buddy Reading time in our explorer camp and individual Down Tools read- ing time! The children have the opportunity to complete our Explorer Book Trail around the village on Wednesday and on World Book Day, everyone will dress up as explorers and the children will take part in a carousel of activities based on three other explorer texts. Look out for the photos on the website!

Arithmetic Café Following on from our successful Literacy Café last month, we are holding a special morning maths session for all parents and carers to come in and work alongside their children in maths lessons in order to find out how we teach arithmetic and how best to support their child’s learning at home. Don’t be afraid – pop along and have some fun with numbers!

TO ALL RESIDENTS OF BEDFIELD Q. WHAT IS THE BTE? A. The Bedfield Town Estate. It is a Charity Trust that was set up in 1883 to benefit Bed- field residents. Q. WHERE DOES THE CHARITY GET ITS MONEY FROM? A. The Trust owns farmland, sports field and nine allotments which are leased to vari- ous individuals and organisations. Other income comes from the interest of its liquid assets. Q. HOW IS THE MONEY DISTRIBUTED AND TO WHOM? A. The Trustees meet to consider the distribution of the funds. The original Trust Deed was set up to enable maintenance and repair of the church, therefore a large propor- tion of the income is used for that purpose. The remaining amount is distributed for education, those in need and the general benefit of the residents of Bedfield. Q. How often do we meet? A. There are normally 3-4 meetings a year.

If you are interested in becoming a Trustee please contact :-

Bedfield and Monk Soham Play area The Parish Council decided some time ago to relocate and replace the children’s play area in Bedfield. Moving it to the land adjacent to the pole barn on the main field will create a recreational hub for residents and visitors. Plans are now progressing, and we have started to consult with children at the Pri- mary school to find out their likes and dislikes. This will inform the type of play equip- ment to be installed but first we will need to raise the necessary funds. How you can help…We will soon have an online7 facility for you to provide your ideas and feedback on the new play area. Watch this space for more information and get involved. If you have the time and/or skills to provide support in any way, please con- tact Alison Manning: [email protected]

9 STRADBROKE AND DISTRICT BRANCH, ROYAL BRITISH LEGION ‘A poet is, before anything else, a person who is passionately in love with language’. ― W.H. Auden If that is so, the 92 pupils of Stradbroke High School Academy, who took part in our Branch Poetry Competition, are indeed enjoying a good relationship with the English Lan- guage. Their use of words, imagination and their engagement with the reader was inspiring. Chairman Bernard Mills, together with the President, Alan King, and two committee members, Joyce Cooper and Rosemary Warne, attended Assembly on 13th February to congratulate the pupils and present the prizes. The Head Teacher read extracts from the top five poems to an appreciative audience. A huge thank you to staff and pupils.

The Chairman is keen to encourage YOU to join the Branch to invigorate the proceedings with new ideas, energy, and a desire to help serve the Service and ex-Service communities.

It works alongside other Service Charities, such as – Seafarers; The Soldiers Charity (ABF); RAF Bene Fund; BLESMA (limbless charity); Combat Stress; REFA (The Forces Employment Charity); Haig Housing Trust (Housing) and so forth.

A Request from a Worlingworth village resident

The problem is back again. I walk my dog in Worlingworth and lately I've noticed that the grass verge from the bottom of Swan Road up to the top is absolutely disgusting with dog’s poo every where. I find it very hard to understand why people are so lazy not to clear up after their dogs, especially when there is a red poo bin in that area .

11 News from Monk Soham /Bedfield The community has funded the installation of two Automated External Defibrillators (AED). One is at the sports hut in Bedfield and the other is next to the gates at Jewsons in Monk Soham. They are accessible for emergency use following a cardiac arrest. They operate with clear visual and audio instruction. However, we know that practice in the use of AED’s greatly improves their effectiveness.

The providers of the AEDs are offering a short 2 hour introduction into Cardio Pulmo- nary Resuscitations (CPR) and the use of the AEDs. This will be held at Bedfield sports pavilion on Thursday 11th April 2019, commencing at 1900.

I hope you appreciate that the course will make you more efficient and effective in CRP and use of the AED, helping to save a life. The chances are that you will know the person that needs the use of a AED. I would encourage you to attend this session.

Please email your wish to attend to [email protected] so I can ensure we can accommodate those wanting to attend. Or call on 07960083792. If you attended the first session a couple of years ago, please attend again. It will be a good refresher.

We will try lots of different ways to encourage you to attend so I don’t apologise for the emails, flyers and publicity you will receive.

It is the way we understand our weather and a rough guide to planning any outdoor or indoor jobs we need to do. But we are not as familiar with the fact that the church’s year is divided into seasons as well. We all know Christmas and Easter but are perhaps less aware of Epiphany, Trinity, Lent and Advent. Each season allows us to reflect and rediscover certain as- pects of church life and history. Some seasons are joyful, such as Christmas and Easter, and we are always sad to see them go. Others are sad and more reflective and others, to be unfair to them, are used to fill in the gaps. You may say that the church is always harking on about the bad stuff and never enjoying the good stuff; perhaps more people would come to church if there were more Christmas and Easter-like sea- sons. Unfortunately life is not like that and if the church is to be relevant to the lives of people it must reflect a true picture of life. Nobody can claim that their life is full of joy and there is no sorrow; in many cases there is a lot of sorrow and very little joy. It was the same for Jesus. His life had its ups and downs just like any other, perhaps more so. We cannot ignore that he was rejected by some, hated and reviled. We cannot ignore that many a time his miracles and healings were met with hostility from the very people who should have recognized them for what they revealed about Jesus. We are now entering the season of Lent, which begins on 6th March . This is an opportunity for us not only to follow Jesus on his journey from baptism to crucifixion but also to reflect on our own lives on the good as well as the bad. If it happens that life is hard for us at the moment then we know that Jesus had it hard too and will understand what we are going through. Life can be very cruel and if we are in the depths of despair it does not help to have the jolly folk around telling us things will be all right. It is at times like that we can look into the face of Christ as he faced the cross, or as he heard Peter deny him, or as the Pharisees tried to destroy him, or as one of his closest friends betrayed him; we can look upon that face and know he has been there and is ready to listen, support and love. Lent acknowledges life is not a bundle of roses and allows us to get angry, to despair and to cry with the understanding that all through our blackest moments we are not abandoned by God; no we are not abandoned, for he has been there and is there ready to take our hand and walk with us whatever the prob- lem is and for however long it takes. 15 See also page 16 David

David Burrell announces the winner of the Christmas Quiz! There were several entries and most were all correct this left me with a bit of a dilemma should I break the bar of chocolate up and give a piece to each winner? Or should I put the names of all the winners in a hat and draw one name out. I decided upon the latter and the name that came out of the hat was Catherine Cawood. Congratulations to her and well done to all those who got it right.. Answers are available from the editor16
