““““In Your Garden” In Your Garden” In Your Garden” In Your Garden” with Ian Shilling of Tripp Batt Country Store of Stanton

As usual, a lot of what we have to do in the garden during July is dictated by the weather. If it is hot and dry, then we must turn our

attention to making sure that our plants are adequately watered. The most vulnerable will be plants in pots and containers plus any plants

which were planted out during the spring whose roots will still be trying to establish. What rain we usually get in July is usually in the

form of short sharp bursts, and this is of very little use to plants. So keep watering even if it rains. The benefits of earlier mulching will

also be valuable during the summer months, as the hidden ground should stay relatively moist. Grass clippings may not look very

attractive, but a layer of these does a good job of keeping moisture in the soil where it’s needed, and they also keep annual weeds at bay.

The wet weather earlier in the summer provided ideal conditions for fungus such as mildew, apple scab, and rose blackspot. Keep an eye

out for symptoms and spray early before damage occurs. There are not so many chemical treatments available these days due to

regulations, but a good general fungicide will do for most problems. For Roses, try Roseclear which is both a fungicide and pesticide.

Whatever the weather, it is important to start supplementary feeding of baskets and containers and growbags now. A weekly liquid feed

is advisable, using feeds such as Miracle-Gro, Phostrogen, or Growmore. If going on holiday, remove baskets and tubs to a cool shady

spot, sitting baskets in large pots or buckets.

Happy Gardening!

DATES FOR YOUR DIARY

Rickinghall Further Education Group The ten week course starting on Thursday 13th September is

entitled Europe and the “Film Noir” with Jo Statham to deliver

this fascinating aspect of the world of film.

“Film Noir” is the name given to the popular

thrillers and detective films made in Hollywood

during the 1940’s. Many European film

directors, actors, designers and technicians

migrated to Hollywood during the inter-war

years and they took with them European culture

and a way of interpreting subject matter which

had a great influence on the Hollywood product.

In this course we will look at the themes, plots and conventions of

“Film Noir” including settings, anti-heroes, and beautiful femmes

fatales.

If you would like to register for this exciting course please contact

Sue Emerson on 01379 897010 or email her on

Q. Can you please tell me how I can get the perfect chip. A. The Great British Chip is an institution with us all and we all strive to cook the perfect Chip. Here are my tips on reaching your goal. The choice of potato is important for a start to achieve a good chip. I always use either a King Edwards, Maris Pipers or Desirée potatoes. Or a good old “Monty Special”. Use a good vegetable oil. Ingredients: 250g Potatoes per person and 1 litre good quality Vegetable Oil Preparation: For a good chunky hand cut chip cut the potatoes into slices 15mm/ ¾” inch wide. Place the chips into a colander and rinse under cold running water. Place the chips into a pan of cold water, bring the water gently to the boil and simmer for 3 - 4 minutes. Drain off through a colander and dry using paper towels. Heat the Vegetable oil to 120°C in a large deep saucepan. Blanch the chips a few handfuls at a time in the fat for a couple of minutes. When they seem drier and slightly cooked remove from the fat and drain. Keep covered until needed. Reheat the oil to 200°C and cook the chips until golden and crisp about 5 - 8 minutes. Serve immediately. Season with Maldon Sea Salt and Sarsons Vinegar. Enjoy !!!

Recipe of the Month Fish Cakes Ingredients 450g mixed fish such as Cod, Haddock or Salmon 450g Potatoes 2 tbsp chopped fresh Parsley 1 tbsp snipped Chives 2 free-range eggs, beaten ½ tsp finely grated Lemon Zest 85g bread crumbs Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper. Vegetable oil for frying.

Preparation method 1. Heat the oven to 190C. 2. Place the fish in a roasting tin and cook in the oven for about 10-15 minutes or until it starts to flake. When the fish is cool enough to handle, remove the skin and bones then flake the fish into large chunks. 3. Mix the fish together with the mashed potato, parsley, chives and egg be careful not to break the fish up too much. Season, to taste, with the Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper. 4. Shape the mixture into between 8 to 12 fish cakes, depending on how large you want them. 5. Beat the egg on a large plate. Spread the breadcrumbs on a baking sheet and one by one, place each fish cake in the egg, and brush over the top and sides so it is completely coated. Roll the fish cakes on the crumbs, patting the crumbs on the sides and tops so they are lightly covered transfer to a plate and place in the fridge for one hour to chill. 6. Heat some vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the fish cakes over a medium heat for about 5 mins on each side or until crisp and golden.

When serving squeeze a little lemon zest over them to taste.

Botesdale & Rickinghall Pre-School Taken from their Report given to Botesdale Village Hall Management Committee’s Annual General Meeting The last year has been a busy one for the Pre-School.

Our biggest project has been the development of the woodland area at the back of the village hall into a fantastic play area for the children. This was made possible by the lease granted by the late Mr Peter Holt-Wilson. It has also enabled us to develop a small allotment, where the children are able to grow their own snacks!

We have arranged a number of activities and events during the past year including a Teddy Bears Picnic, a summer trip to Melsop Farm, a Hawaiian-themed party and a sponsored walk. Some of the activities have taken place jointly with St Botolphs School Nursery and also with Wortham primary School, so as to continue to develop close links with local schools and to help ensure that children have a smooth transition into school.

We have been able to raise Pre-School’s profile by undertaking a number of marketing initiatives including posters and leaflets, a banner outside the Village Hall and the creation of a website (www.botesdaleandrickinghallpre-school.co.uk). We have been able to do this with the support of Suffolk County Council. A special mention should also go to Gavin Rookyard who has given us really valuable support with developing the website.

We continue to invest in staff training and development. The staff have attended a number of courses throughout the year, including ECAT (Every Child a Talker), Twos are Special, and first aid updates. Karen Hails, the Pre-School Supervisor, has completed a Foundation Degree in Early Years. Two other staff have obtained their Level 3 NVQs and Paula Erith, our Deputy SENCO (Special Educational Needs Co-ordinator), is well on the way to completing her SEN training.

We have also been joined by a new staff member, Joanne Saffery, who is a valued member of the team.

Last September we increased the number of sessions by adding two additional afternoons.

We continue to be busy, and currently have 51 children coming to Pre-School on a regular basis. There are, however, still a few vacancies for certain sessions.

We have a number of fundraising initiatives planned for this next year so that we can further develop our facilities and the activities that the children are able to enjoy.

Redgrave Luncheon Club–Taken from their Report given at

Redgrave Annual Parish Meeting. Luncheon Club meets on the last Tuesday of the month at midday. It is not intended to be a senior citizens club but we are mostly of that age as the younger people are working. The cost has now increased from £4.50 to £5.00 which all members agreed to and we do have to limit the number of people attending to forty.

It seem some people now prefer to call this event the Village Lunch. The organiser has no objection to this so long as everyone realises there are two separate lunch clubs, the other being the Phoenix Lunch Club. The organiser is very grateful for all the support from everyone. The event could not run without help from Beryl Davies who cooks some of the delicious food and others who ring round for numbers attending, lay tables, collect plates and arrange tables for the next event in the hall. Thank you everyone.

The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets

the cheese.

Rickinghall and Botesdale celebrated the Queen’s Diamond

Jubilee on Monday 4th June at Rickinghall Village Hall. The

party was free, thanks to funding provided by the parish

councils and the county council, together with the generosity

of Howard and Georgie Newport of The Bell Inn, who

supplied the teas. The Bell Inn also provided the hot food and

a bar at cost. The WI provided the cakes and Jordan Newport

and Sarah Raynham made the three-tiered jubilee cake.

Despite the damp conditions on the ground and grey skies in

the morning, the weather improved, the sun came out and at

least seven hundred villagers flocked to enjoy the occasion,

games, races and stalls.

In the evening people danced to the music of Back Street.

The classic cars kindly brought by residents, aroused much

interest. So also did repeat showings of the DVD of the

Coronation. This was accompanied a display of memorabilia

with a collection of photographs and people’s memories of

Coronation day, 1953.

At the Fancy Dress

competition Florence

Wilson was judged Queen

of the day and the judges,

Roz Clark and Valerie

Wilson, presented her with

a Jubilee mug. Winners of

the various races won

chocolate gold medals and runners up were treated to jubilee

sweets, lollies, pencils or party poppers.

Shawna Humphrey, the face painter, was busy all afternoon!

At the children’s tea each child was given an engraved

medallion, a crown and a flag. During the over 60s’tea,

Sarah Doig played music from the time of Elizabeth I. Then

Irene Chandler cut the beautiful, tiered cake surmounted by

an edible crown. Barbara Foster thanked the organisers for

their efforts and proposed three cheers for Her Majesty. The

party went on into the evening, achieving the aim of

‘something for everyone’.

Our thanks go to Howard Newport and all his staff from The

Bell for doing sterling work to provide the party food, and to

the team from Rickinghall PC, Gillian Crossley-Holland, and

Leeann Jackson-Eve for organising the event. Also to many,

many people for contributing games and cakes, and for

assisting and working hard on the day; and to all the people

who came and made it a great success!

When the Rev’d. Blyth, a keen campanologist, took over the living

of the two Rickinghalls in 1903, he found the woodwork of the bell

frame was in a very bad condition. He began to raise money for a

new frame which was completed in 1906. The bells were taken

down, cleaned and refurbished, and the Rector began to recruit a

ringing team.

More recently Albert Driver trained a new bell ringing team at

Rickinghall Superior as there had been no team there for several

years and they rang the bells for the first time in 2007, and now ring

Redgrave bells regularly as well as other church bells. Albert had

been the tower captain at Redgrave since 1939, following his father

and grandfather. Albert became a regular member of the band at the

age of 13, and continued to ring the bells into his nineties. Albert

died, aged 95, in 2010, and left money in his will to add another

three bells to the tower at St. Mary’s Redgrave, plans for which are

going ahead. It is a pity that the bells will not be cast by John

Goldsmith of Redgrave.

John Goldsmith, Redgrave

Eighteenth Century Bell Founder

This year will be the three hundredth anniversary of the re-casting of

the Rickinghall Superior Church bells by John Goldsmith. John was

a bell founder from Redgrave, believed to live in the house now

known as Pound Farm at Gallows Hill. The agreement for the bells

still exists, dated 28th May 1712, and was made between the

Churchwardens of Rickinghall Superior and “William Rust and of

the overseers of the poor of the sd. parish & other the Inhabitants of

the [sd] Town of the other part”. The four bells were to be new run

and made into five “Turnable Bells”. The bells were probably the

bells recorded in the survey of church bells after the reformation.

The contract included taking down the bells, re-hanging them and

providing the timber, iron and brass and all other materials, except

the ropes, at a price of thirty five pounds. Twenty pounds of this

money was to be paid within fourteen days of the work being

completed, and the remainder in Easter week of the following year.

No metal was to be added to the bells, and an allowance of wastage

of six per cent was allowed. John Goldsmith agreed to complete

the work by the 1st of August “next following”.

According to the Revd. J.J. Raven who wrote “The Church Bells of

Suffolk” in 1890, about twenty of Goldsmith’s bells were in

existence in Norfolk and Suffolk at this time, with none in any other

county. He only records five bells at Rickinghall Superior as being

made by Goldsmith and states that the fifth bell is very small. All

Goldsmith’s bells in Suffolk and Norfolk were dated between the

years 1707 and 1713, although Raven said that the bells at Badley

were dated 1702; however C.H. Hawkins says they are dated 1709.

Goldsmith’s bells are considered to be rare, probably because he

worked for such a short period. Many of the bells he re-cast were

medieval, and he always inscribed their original dedication. One of

the bells which he made for Darmsden near Barking, inscribed

“Sancta Maria, 1710” has been re-hung in a bell cote on the west

gable of the church when the church was rebuilt and dedicated in

1880. There was a Goldsmith Bell in the church at Borgue in

Scotland, but this is probably a re-used bell from somewhere in

Norfolk or Suffolk dated 1712. It is believed it may have been

bought for the tower when it was built in 1814. The name and

inscription on the bell matches a description of the inscription made

on a bell for Wilby which was made in 1713, the last bell which he

made, but he may have used this inscription on all his bells .

John Goldsmith was buried in Redgrave Churchyard on June 25th

1714, and the entry in the burial register states that he was a bell

founder, which is unusual as the burial registers do not usually state

a trade. John Goldsmith did not make any bells for Redgrave

Church, although one of the five bells which was re-cast by Charles

Newman in 1691 was inscribed Goldsmith Ch. W. This may have

been a churchwarden at the time who was a relative of John

Goldsmith. Three of the bells at Redgrave may have been recast

from the bells mentioned at the time of a survey taken in the reign of

Edward 6th between 1547 and 1553. Albert Driver said a new bell

frame was made at the same time from oak trees from Redgrave

Park. Charles Newman lived at King’s Lynn and he used water

carriage of the bells by river and sea, although it was probably not

possible for the Little Ouse to be navigable as far as Redgrave.

Charles Newman’s son Thomas re-cast the Redgrave lower 5 out of

6 bells in 1736. Another John Goldsmith was inscribed with CW

when the bells were re-cast in 1736 but this would have been too late

to be the bell founder. These bells were in an earlier tower than the

one we see today, which was re-built in 1784 by Richard Todd (who

owned the house in which Botesdale Post Office is now situated in

Rickinghall).

Redgrave Church Heritage Trust Year to March 2012 Taken from their Report given at Redgrave Annual Parish Meeting The sexennial report showed no major repairs are needed to the fabric of the church for the next six years. Underground safety inspections with micro-cameras showed three more vaults all in good condition, exactly as predicted by the ground radar and posed a mystery because one vault was completely empty when six coffins would have been expected.

The new style harvest festival joint venture with the PCC was a great success and helped Water Aid. The Redgrave flagons were on show on loan from the Fitzwilliam for the first time in many years and David Ivory was the first to play the full range of the revitalised organ. The plays this year were more successful than the bigger name singers.

The gates from All Saints which incorporate the 1800’s altar rails from St Mary’s were repaired and installed at the top of the bank on Steeple Meadow to form a new stepped entrance towards the churchyard. The front lay-by has been improved and the wall supported by a bank ready for the next stage of repairs to the churchyard wall. Albert Driver made a bequest for improvements and additions to the bells but implementation is proving to be beset by Heritage inertia, in much the same way that we encountered initial resistance to the toilets and mini-kitchen project.

These notes are necessarily short and can only make one point. Over

the years I have made many points relating to Christianity but

cannot remember whether I have actually set out the actual steps to

becoming a Christian.

Throughout our lives we all do things that are wrong. Sometimes we

can ignore them and, with time they go away. It isn’t very

satisfactory as, at other times, they don’t go away and may cause

lifelong troubles unless we do something to put them right. This

could be an apology, the return of something or the restoration of

something damaged. Those things could put right some earthly

wrong.

The other fellow we have to deal with is God. Even when he isn’t

involved he still gets upset when we hurt someone. It is only logical

when he cares for everyone. With him we can’t return anything

stolen but we can put it right with an apology. Is that enough? The

answer to that question is complicated by the fact that we need to

accept and experience the forgiveness. On earth we can hear and

understand the acceptance of our apology but not when it comes

from heaven so God has made a way.

I believe I’ve used the illustration before but it bears repeating. If I

end up in court having done something wrong I may be fined. I may

be unable to pay the fine and might ask the judge or the court for

forgiveness. I may be very repentant but neither the judge nor the

court are able to remove the just penalty for what I have done. My

misdemeanour has not cost the judge nor the court anything. They

are not involved apart from the need to exact justice. The only one

that can forgive is the one I have offended. If that person pays the

fine for me I know that they have forgiven me and the logic is for

me to say thank you.

God has given us Jesus Christ who has paid the fine for us. When I

do wrong, I put it right with the person I offend, I apologise both to

them and God. God sees I am repentant as I have put it right and

restored any loss. He also has my apology. He forgives. I look at

what Jesus has done on the cross and see that he has paid the price.

It is a visual aid that tells me I am forgiven. Logically I receive it by

saying thank you.

It may be just one thing that brings us to this position but often it is

the accumulation of wrongs. To become a Christian it only needs a

simple prayer: “I have done many things wrong in both word and

deed. I’m sorry and need your forgiveness. I know that you forgive

because Jesus paid the price. Thank you, Jesus for paying the price

for me. Please come into my life and help me to live a life that

pleases you.”

If you mean it, that is all it takes to become a Christian. You have

put it all right and there is nothing between you and God. You try

not to do so but you will still make mistakes and the way to put

them right is in the same way. “As you first found Christ so walk in

him,” says Paul the Apostle.

On 22nd May I witnessed an

ex t r ao rd in ary s igh t on

Redgrave Fen. Three Cuckoos

were hopping around and

occasionally perching on a wire

fence, while a fourth was

calling some 200 yards away. I

watched them happily feeding

for half an hour. I noticed on

the Pavilion Bird Recording

Board that five cuckoos had

been seen together the previous

day. Before I have only seen

cuckoos singly in flight and only

one alone on the ground in the past.

I have never heard of Cuckoos flocking together and migrating

together. Records are always of single birds. The only recent

record of Cuckoo movements has been the BTO’s tagged birds

which were released singly, and did not appear to fly together at any

time in the winter.

Just for the record, I once saw a single Cuckoo in our vegetable

garden at The Chapel House in Botesdale as late as 4th October. At

the time we had a very good hatch of caterpillars which completely

ruined our Spring Broccoli. No wonder it stayed so long. It must

have been an easy supply of food for the return journey to Africa for

which it was worth remaining. I remember the poem which ends :

“... August go he must

September he’ll never remember,

October he’ll never get over”.

I hope my cuckoo made it!

Now a late record of our incoming migrants. Two Spotted

Flycatchers on 1st June in Water Lane, Rickinghall and a pair (?

same birds) seen several times in Rickinghall Churchyard (as last

year).

A Red Kite was seen flying low over a garden in Rickinghall, so

low that its brilliant colouring was clearly visible.

An addition to the dismal bird ramble on 15th May. I went on to

look at the new Minsmere Reserve Pavilion. A vast improvement.

Lots more room for the shop and the restaurant and the loos are now

incorporated into the enlarged building.

On that day I walked across the now enlarged North Pathway to the

sea wall. Looking north over the heath land there was a good view

of two Stone Curlews. No, I did not notice them myself at first, but

asked two watchers with telescopes what they were looking at! You

will find that watchers with the latest gear are only too pleased to let

others look.

We had a trip to the Italian Lakes recently and I wondered what

interesting birds we might see. Mind you, there was not a lot of

walking—but much coach driving. All the lake edges were filled

with Mallard and Coots. Everywhere there were sparrows. House

Sparrows, but they were different to our sparrows and, on checking

with my Birdwatcher’s Pocket Guide, they were Italian Sparrows.

The males are quite different to ours, with a black bib and chestnut

brown colouring over the head and down the neck.

But my book says there is also a Spanish House Sparrow, and the

Italian Sparrow may be a hybrid between our House Sparrow and

the Spanish Sparrow. Mine was definitely all Italian. It had an

Italian accent and a most beautiful voice!

All the crows were Hooded Crows and just before we left I saw a

handsome Black Redstart.

It is so nice to be back to local birding.

Di Maywort, tel : 01379 898785

Botesdale/ Rickinghall from Bridewell Lane to Northdene Mill House used to be a mill powered by a diesel engine with a

malting behind it in Bridewell lane.

A building between Mill House and The Maltings was a butchers

shop with the abattoir behind it, where Bridewell Court stands now.

The building was demolished and Hops Cottage was recently built

on the site. The Maltings is dated to c1600. It was altered in the 19th

century when the bay window was added.

St Catherine’s is a mid 15th century building which originally had

two cross wings. In the early 17th century the west cross wing was

burnt down, possibly in 1633, although no evidence has been found

to back up this date. The east cross wing was extended in the 17th

century. The original 15th century door is visible with two dragons

carved on the spandrels. This indicates that it was a very high status

house. These had been plastered over but were uncovered by the

Bryant Brothers during repair work in the 1950s. Basil Brown was

called in to examine it and he has left an account of this. In the

1960s and early 1970s Elizabeth Craig the cookery writer lived here.

The Swallows was built in the early 18th century. One of the first

owners was a patten maker who had a shop there. In 1760 it was

leased for a rent of ‘one pepper corn’ a year.

Seven Bells was formerly two cottages called Bell View Cottage.

Mr Moss changed the name to Seven Bells in 1967 when he bought

the Western cottage. In 1986 Mr & Mrs Moss purchased the second

cottage and restored the building to a single dwelling. It is a three

bay 16th or early 17th century house which was altered in the 18th

century with a three bay wing forming an L shape. In the early 20th

century Mr Pemberton owned it. His bus company was situated

behind Highlands with the entrance from Warrens Lane. There was a

petrol pump in front of the house at this time. Arthur Bryant’s

family lived in the cottage on the west side during WWII. His

mother was injured by shattered window glass when cluster bombs

were dropped along The Street.

Warren Lane leads up to a footpath which crosses a large field and

then the bypass. This marks the boundary between Botesdale and

Rickinghall. The footpath used to be called the Procession Way. In

medieval times, at Rogationtide, there would have been a

procession, with hand bells, banners, the parish cross and loud

singing, around the boundary of the whole village. This was called

‘beating the bounds’ and was to make sure the young people knew

the village boundaries, but more importantly it was also to drive the

evil spirits from the village. If a procession met one from the

neighbouring village there would often be a fight as each thought the

demons were being driven over the boundary into their village. (2)

In the medieval period the field to the left of the footpath was a

‘strip’ field called Botesdale Field. The field to the right, in

Rickinghall, was called Patlotfield field which later became

Howchins Field. The Ryders Way housing estate was built on part of

Howchins field in the 1980s.

In the 1930s the Ray brothers, who were acrobats, used to practise in

the field at the end of Warren lane. They performed all over East

Anglia at fairs and shows and billed themselves as the ‘Atlas

Brothers – Tight-rope Artistes & Hand Balancers & Equilibrists.’ (1)

Walnut Tree House is a timber framed house, the front part of which

is possibly late 17th or early 18th century. An extension was put on at

the back a little later. ‘Faiths’ shop was Stephen Warren’s butchers

shop in the late 19th and early 20th century. His abattoir was on the

the site of the building now used as the motor services garage. A

post with a ring in it for tethering animals was found there. In WWI

William Warren his eldest son, who had emigrated to Canada, came

back to fight. He was killed and his name is on the War Memorial.

Botesdale Post Office is actually in Rickinghall Superior. The PO

has been here since the 1950s when it moved from where ‘Botesdale

Kitchen’ is today. The house was built in the mid 1700s and was

once lived in by Richard Todd, the stonemason who refaced the red

brick tower of Redgrave Church with ‘Wool pit’ white bricks in

1784. ‘Todd built me in 1784’ is inscribed on the top of the church

tower. (3)

The house now called Northdene was built after the original four

cottages on the site were burnt down in 1935. The fire was thought

to have been started by fireworks. The Goddard family, Mr & Mrs

Boyce, Mrs. Plume & Mr & Mrs John Ray were the families burnt

out by the fire.

St George’s Drive is an estate of new houses built in 2005.

A very big thank you to all the 90 people who helped to make

possible the amazing figure of £4,483.73 raised over the last few

months.

Our Lamb & Alpaca days saw over 174 adult visitors and their

many, many children visit, despite a dull and rainy day on the

Saturday. Total raised : £ 1,734.00.

Flag Week also attracted heavy rain at times but our 56 volunteers

in 18 villages raised a staggering £1,849.73.

The cluster of 6 lovely gardens in Rickinghall had 160 visitors and

raised £900.00.

Without the enthusiasm and hard work of so many at the farm, in

the village hall and around the villages none of this would be

possible. THANK YOU ALL.

Money raised from this local fundraising is spent on services within

our region : Medical Loan - First Aid - Home from Hospital -

Emergency support - & more.

Jubilee Monday afternoon:

Rickinghall Village Hall’s perspective What a delightful day! What a brilliant turnout! What

luck that the weather was kind! How good to see the

Hall, the field, the play area and the skate park all

crowded at the same time! How brilliant to see the

Hall full to overflowing with our indoor ‘street party’

of the children’s tea!

The most important focus of the afternoon of celebration was the

food and drink: the children’s tea, the over 60’s tea, the hog roast

and barbeque - and the queue for the bar! Everyone seemed to enjoy

themselves. Full credit must go to Howard and Georgie Newport

from the Bell, and to their family and staff who, with much

appreciated help from volunteers, made all of this possible. Most of

their profits from the day went towards the costs, especially of the

free teas and all the decorations. On behalf of all who were there,

thank you.

No doubt someone else will name and thank all those many other

people, from both Rickinghall and Botesdale, who made the

celebrations possible either by helping to organise the day, its

events and attractions, or by running them. On behalf of the Village

Hall, though, I would just like to say thank you to everyone,

including all who joined in the celebrations, for helping to make

such a memorable day. Bob Clark, Hall Committee Chairman

The Dunkley family would like to thank everyone

involved in the organisation of the Village

Jubilee Event, held at Rickinghall Village Hall.

Joshua loved his Jubilee Tea and his grandparents

thoroughly enjoyed their Over 60’s Tea!

The small organising committee had worked

really hard to bring everything together and they succeeded.

It was a joy to see so many happy faces celebrating on the

day and we are sure the children will have some lovely

memories to look back on.

Why do people put junk in their garage yet leave vehicles

worth thousands of pounds out on their driveway or even

the highway?

Woman Driver

Magistrate: But if you saw the lady driving towards you,

why didn't you give her half the road?

Motorist: I was going to, Your Honour, as soon as I could

find out which half she wanted.

Sunday 27th May 2012

Being fairly new to the village it has been interesting to see how things differ from the familiar. It can be difficult at

times and enlightening at others. No one can but have been delighted with the United Pentecost Service held in

Botesdale Village Hall. A warm welcome was extended to everyone as they arrived and the Inter Church Choir was

already on the stage dressed in their splendid new purple and blue clothes, a very professional look.

The hall soon filled with bodies and expectation. The choir led by Stephen Jarrold was superb and obviously

enjoyed singing together. Their singing and the poems, readings and anecdotes between songs enriched us. For

people of different Christian denominations to share together beliefs and views was a wonderful experience and we

thank them. We enjoyed the opportunity to join with them for some familiar songs and filled the hall with our

voices.

The service was followed by a tea provided by members of the congregation, needless to say a marvellous spread and the chance to chat to

each other. A memorable event at which God was present with us in a very powerful and beautiful way. Philippa Rixon
