At last there’s something to put in the diary, yes film nights are back! Starting this month you can enjoy a social evening watching a film. But if you prefer the outdoors why not sign up for the Sponsored Ride & Stride event? A great way to see the countryside and get some exercise too! Let’s hope that more events will follow in the not too distant future. Whatever you decide take care and keep safe. Until the next time ... DATES FOR THE DIARY … 2020 Sept Sat 12th Sponsored Ride & Stride (see advert) Sat 19th Film Night, “The Death of Stalin” Haughley Village Hall, 7.00pm (see advert) Sun 20th Harvest Festival Service, St Mary’s, Wetherden , 11.00am (see advert) Oct Sat 3rd Film Night, “Love Punch”, Haughley Village Hall, 7.00pm (see advert) Nov Sat 7th Film Night, “The Shape of Water” Haughley Village Hall, 7.00pm (see advert) 3 WETHERDEN TOWN LANDS TRUST Wetherden “Pop-Up Market” During lockdown Chantell the Plant Lady started visiting Wetherden with her van and trailer and she now regularly sets up in the area opposite the Maypole, from 9am on the first Saturday of every other month,* having last been here on August 8th. She has been joined by Happy Food Co-op who sell vegetables grown at their smallholding in Captains Lane. This time Heather Sutton also was there with her Jams and Pat Jarrett was selling plants from her garden. Each makes a contribution to Trust Funds or the Open Gardens village initiatives. So, last Saturday in blazing heat, people arrived with their wheelbarrows, shopping bags and car boots to chat, look and buy. It was a pleasant atmosphere in these troubled times – a chance for people to see each other, perhaps for the first time since lockdown began. If you want to come along next time look out for Chantell’s sign at the car park entrance which she places there a few days before. The Trust is thinking about how we might extend this market for Wetherden people to see an increased range of items on sale and to bring their own locally grown or made items for sale – let us have your ideas, or if you want to put up a stall next or any other time let us know. Alex Jarrett Chairman [email protected] * STOP PRESS: I have just been advised, that for the time being Chantell is aiming to come each month, and other stall holders are of course welcome to join in on these days. 4 HAUGHLEY WI Unfortunately Ann & Julie are unable During these challenging times, Haughley WI has taken to hold a Macmillan coffee morning at the difficult decision to Buxhall village hall this year due to the postpone all its meetings until restrictions of Covid-19.

The group had been unable to meet since February although of course had carried on Reading. We were missing the monthly discussion and conversation - always enjoyed by all. Then some bright spark suggested an outdoor meeting and eventually Gallowsfield Wood was decided upon as a suitable venue. We had such a good meeting, socially distanced, sitting on logs around a wood fire, drinking cocoa (not our usual tipple), eating biscuits, discussing books read during lockdown, puzzling over quizzes, putting the world right and so......decided to meet again under the trees in a month's time. The book for discussion then will be The Confession by Jessie Burton..... Our possible next venue, once the nights draw in? ............underneath a lamppost? Jo Emmet, Sally Green, Pip Jackson, Jo Ling, Donna Marner, Allie & Peter Mills, Sue Moore, Thirza Shaw, Jill Terrible and Chrissie Such. 6 7 Whats on at your Village Hall HAUGHLEY VILLAGE HALL IS NOW READY TO WELCOME YOU BACK From September the groups restarting at the village hall :- Haughley Preschool - Mon,Tues,Thurs 8.30am - 3.00pm Wed,Fri 8.30am - 1.00pm Serenity Yoga Suffolk – Wed 9.30am - 10.0am Thurs 7.15pm - 8.15pm Tai Chi – Tues 7.00pm - 8.30pm Wed 1.30pm - 3.30pm Disco Dancing – Fri 5.30pm - 8.00pm Film Nights – Restarting Saturday 19th September but will return to 1st Saturday in the month from 3rd October.

Meanwhile, as September is the end of harvest and start of the new farming year, here’s an appropriate BOOK REVIEW. “They Fought in the Fields – The Women’s Land Army” by Nicola Tyrer Although the Women’s Land Army tends to be remembered mainly for its efforts during the Second World War, it did also exist during the Great War, i.e. between 1917 and 1918, nearly two million acres of grassland were ploughed up to grow wheat. However, during the inter-war years of peace, the hungry lessons of WW1 were quickly forgotten. British agriculture at the end of the 1930s was in a sorry state, with the country importing 70% of its food, in stark contrast to the German Reich which by then was producing 80% of its own food. It was only by the spring of 1939 that the British Government decided that something had to be done. So the ‘girls’ of the WLA, many of whom were very young, were recruited from the towns and cities – they were mill girls, machinists, shop assistants, typists, barmaids, milliners and manicurists – and when it came to country life, they were as green as the grass they found there! Their heroic mission was to feed a nation whose menfolk were away fighting for freedom on land, sea and air. Initially their efforts were met with scorn by a community famed for its conservatism; they were teased and humiliated, locked in with dangerous bulls, and subjected to endless sexual innuendo. However, before long the farmers were having to eat their words, and acknowledge that the WLA was a rip-roaring success, although the recruitment posters showed a somewhat “rose-tinted” version of the reality. Some farmers’ wives could prove petty and mean-spirited, sometimes depriving the girls of enough food for their long hours of heavy manual labour - hunger seemed to be a recurring theme for some of the girls, one of whom working in East Anglia recalled that she was not allowed in the farmhouse at all.
