““““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!

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.

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.

Botesdale Centre of the
British Red Cross - Spring Fund raising initiative
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
