Dennington News October - December 2017 Issue 10 Competition Win £10.00 See page 23 for details Parents having fun at School Issue ten www.denningtonvillagehall-sportsclub.org Editor’s voice Hi Everyone It has been a really busy 3 months since our last issue of the Dennington News; I can’t believe that we are now talking about Christmas coming and getting ready for the festivities, I hope the countdown to Christmas on Page 7 helps with your preparations. I have two new additions to my family a Grand daughter Philippa, who I went up to see in Heacham when she was born and also to look after my other 2 grand children while Mum was in hospital. My second addition is Coco (named after my great niece who is a mischief). Coco is a real bundle of fun though with trying to train her it is like having a 2 year old child in the house. I love walking and Coco makes it so much more enjoyable, of course I am meeting new people as I go on my walks. Dave Dunnett has been managing the Village Hall Bar for us with his butchers being so busy and other commitments he feels the time has come to hand the baton over to someone else. The Village Hall committee are now eagerly looking for a new person if your are interested please contact James Maberly or Dave Dunnett for further details. Wishing all our Readers a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Carolyn Jones Have your say—it’s your newsletter!

Brilliant turnout for the Cycle Ride, Denningtron School Children were on the green cheering not only the cyclists but also the Police Motor Bikers on their way. About 200 people from local villages were at the roadside between Laxfield Road, The Greenand infront of the Dennington Queen waving Union Jacks, and cheering the competitors on. The weather held good for the cyclists but once they had passed the heavens opened; several residents dropped into The Clothes Peg for tea, coffee and cake plus a bit of a gossip. dennington.onesuffolk.net Pg 5 And some more Photos from Tour of Britain Great to see Dennington on the Local News our School Children did a great job The Motor Bike outriders were great funs So many spare bikes Thanks very much to photo contributors Including Matt Maller, Gilly Upton and Janette Robinson Countdown to Christmas -10 weeks Commissions for Christmas taken Sarah Cole until mid-October, bespoke items 01728 723353 designed by yourself or Sarah Book your Christmas party table Dennington Queen 1st – 23rd December 01728 638241 Make sure you have your Chimney Tony Hales Swept ready for that Christmas Fire 07949 142985 -8 weeks Pop into Fram Toyshop to write Bulstrodes your wish list for Santa 01728 621152 Order your printed Christmas Cards Tuddenham Press 01473 785154 Don’t forget to book that special Bruisyard Hall meal at Bruisyard Hall - on 14 Dec 01728 639000 -6 weeks Arrange your pre-christmas foot Victoria Footcare care treatment 07746 927999 Book your Dogs Christmas Groom Posh Paws and Visit us at Whersted Park for 01728 720093 those special doggy gifts Get those Christmas Logs from Jack JPF 0777230351 -4 weeks Order your Poultry – Turkey, Goose, Dave Dunnett Duck and other game 01379 870155 Beautiful outfits for Christmas and Ruby Tyger lovely gifts for the family 01728 724470 Remember your pets this Christmas, Toby’s Pets lots of presents and food 01728/ 724571 For that DIY enthusiast in the family Fram DIY lots of great presents 01728 723505 Order that special Toy in time for Bulstrodes Christmas 01728 621152 -2 weeks Order your ‘other Meats’ Beef, Dave Dunnett Lamb, Pork, Sausages, Bacon etc 01379 870155 A wide variety of gift ideas for Sarah Cole Christmas including jewellery, 01728 723353 watches clocks, giftware and cards Buy Toys, presents and stocking Bulstrodes fillers from Bill 01728 621152 -1 week For those last minute gifts check Dennington News out our Advertisers shops www.denningtonvillagehall-sportsclub.org Pg 7 Dennington CEVCP School Mr Ian Page, BSc (Jt Hons.), PGCE, MSc, NPQH, is our new Interim Executive Headteacher. He is settling in well and getting to know the staff and children. Our topic this term is Victorians. And Swallows Class will be going on a fantastic trip to Gressenhall Farm and Workhouse, near Dereham in Norfolk on Friday 29th September. The children will be experiencing a taste of Victorian life through a Victorian Activity day, where the children will experience a Victorian school lesson, work on the farm and in the workhouse. In order to make the day as authentic as possible we would like the children to dress up in Victorian style clothes. Dennington Tel 01728 638800 We now have 59 children on roll. We specialise in nearly new baby The 5 new children in Reception and children's clothes, nursery have made a really good start to equipment, maternity wear, toys, games, books, videos and dvd’s. the term and have settled in well.

As yet we have not started planning for Opening Hours Tuesday—Friday 10 am—4 pm Christmas. Saturday 10 am—1 pm Wendy Acton DENNINGTON SPORTS CLUB At the last Sports club committee meeting quotes had been found for materials to erect a target wall for kicking footballs balls at, also the cost to replace the old picnic table in children’s play area, and prices of ariel/zip wire. With the help from Dennington Consolidated Charities, it was decided we could go ahead with target wall, but a working party may be needed to erect it. (hint to all you young men to help with this) , it was also agreed a new picnic bench, like the ones on the village green would be an excellent idea. The ariel/zip wire quotes are far beyond what the Sports Club expected. Several parents with toddlers would like to see play equipment for the under 5’s; Any money left from the two projects decided on, will go towards items for the Under 5’s . This is the last article I will be placing in the News letter, as I have resigned from being secretary. I have enjoyed being secretary, but it is time for a younger person to take over. David Pearce is also resigning, David and his wife have helped to raise thousands of pounds for Sports Club and Village Hall. David and Veronica are moving to a more convenient home in Framlingham. I am sure we would all like to say thank you very much for all their hard work over the past years. Doris Dearing dennington.onesuffolk.net Pg 9 Tawny Owls I keep putting off doing an article on Tawny Owls which are one of very subjects where iIam forced to use a pre-release bird...reason being simply is one should not see a Tawny Owl out in daylight hours, exception being that during the period of time that the Owlets have left the nest, they will sit on the ground awaiting the parents to bring food, they are fine and must at all times be left alone and not touched or moved. So this issue I have included a couple of images from last year, a RTA Tawny ready for release and a wild Tawny in Dunwich forest, this was a bit of luck really as it was dusk and heard the Owl, not bad for dusk albeit a tad darker than i would have liked due to the wooded area.
