Churchwarden: Christine Cornell “Opus”, Sudbury Road, Newton Tel: 370331
If you would like to discuss anything concerning the church, please get in touch with the Priest-in-Charge, The Revd. Judith Sweetman, The Rectory, School Hill, Boxford CO10 5JT.
Tel: 01787 210091 - who will be happy to help you.
24th July: The Service of Holy Communion was celebrated by Revd. Judith. She took the Lord's Prayer and went through each verse giving an explanation of their meaning. As part of that we were given book markers with a picture of a pebble causing ripples on a pool of water and the first two words of the Lord's Prayer on the card, symbolising for us to spread the sentiments in the prayer to others in the hope of a more peaceful world. Thank you to our organist Nancy Roser and to all who help in any way - which is much appreciated. 31st July: The Five Villages Service was held in St. Bartholomew's Church, Groton. Revd. Judith celebrated the old traditional service of Lammastide where the first corn harvested is made into a loaf. A member of the congregation had made a loaf for us to share. 14th August: Our Service of Holy Communion was taken by Revd. Judith and instead of an address she read a passage from a book. The attendance was unusual in that there was no male in sight but we were very happy to welcome our female friends from the other churches. Thank you to Nancy Roser for playing the organ and to our helpers. July was a happy time with two weddings of young people who had lived in the village but sadly in August and early September we have two funerals of villagers who used to attend our church. ADVANCE NOTICE: Saturday, 10th September: The Newton Green Autumn Show will be held in All Saints' Church. Newton at 2.00pm. Refreshments will be available. Saturday, 10th September: The 35th Bike Ride and Stride at our church.

RUBY BIGGS Our Dear Ruby Biggs who lived in Newton for over twenty years passed away on the 3rd of August after a brave battle with illness over several months. We will always remember Ruby for her kindness and she always had time to listen. Ruby was a keen member of fireside and will be missed by all her friends in the village. Rest in peace Dear Ruby. Funeral 2nd Sept at 1pm All Saints Church Newton. (Cremation to follow family only) No flowers Donations to church funds Thank you. Angela Taylor
LINDA BUCKLEDEE It was with great sadness that I heard of Linda Buckledee’s death at Mellish House two weeks ago. Linda and Harry were the first friends we made in Newton some 36 years ago. It was out daughter Carrie who introduced us and we have been firm friends ever since. I can’t write this without mentioning Linda’s cooking. Barrie and I have spent many a happy evening with Linda and Harry, sampling her superb cooking. She also made all six grandchildren’s christening cakes. Although Linda spent the last few years in Mellish House, she always seemed happy and well cared for. All the staff at the nursing home were very fond of both Linda, and Harry who visited every day. I still cannot grasp, that after a friendship of 36 years she is no longer with us. However, her great kindness and generosity to all who knew her will live on in this village. I, and I am sure all our village extend our love and condolences to Linda’s family, we have lost a very loving and caring lady. Eileen Appleby
Richard and I plan to take part in the 35th Suffolk Historic Churches sponsored cycle ride on Saturday 10th September. Half the money raised will go to All Saints Church in Newton with the other half going to the Historic Churches Trust. If anybody would like to sponsor us we would be very grateful!! Christine Cornell will have a sponsor form or you can get in touch with us on 376791. Thank you Marianne and Richard Anthony

YOUR NEWS
Could you please put a huge thank you in the parish mag for the person who hooked a rope halti lead on the public pathway sign just off the green. It was not expensive but I purchased it a long time ago and it has been the only halti that is comfortable for my dog and are no longer available now. Thank you again, kind person Nice bit over, onto the moan! The amount of dog toilet on the playing field by the village hall is really quite disgusting. It is all quite easy to pick up, may be a bit embarrassing but it is more embarrassing to walk away and leave it. I will have my phone ready to take pictures if I ever see these dog owners not picking up. It does not matter if it is around the edge of the field, in the middle or at the entrance, someone, adult or child or some dog will be walking that way sooner or later and will tread in it. Please do not be the filth that gives us dog owners a bad name. Moan over, lovely magazine, well done! Linda May
CAMPING EQUIPMENT WANTED We’ve recently decided to return to camping after more years than we care to remember. We’ve bought a tent, but are looking to purchase other camping equipment to make the experience or civilised. Thought we’d start by seeing if anybody in the village has anything they would like to sell and make extra room in their lofts/sheds etc. If so, please contact us on 379204 or email [email protected] Thanks Sue & Paul Presland

NEWTON GREEN GOLF CLUB NEWS STORMING COMEBACK FROM NEWTON GREEN. Newton Green juniors made a storming second round comeback to finish a creditable seventh out of 33 teams playing in the national club junior golf championships at Frilford Heath, Oxfordshire. They were Suffolk's representative in the competition for the second year - having finished fourth twelve months previously. Teams of three competed, with the best two Stableford scores on each day counting to the championship. Holiday commitments meant Harvey Watts (handicap four) missed out from appearing in last year's final, but he made up for his previous absence by scoring a hole-in-one on the 179 yard 16th. Two more birdies at the end of his round enabled him to recover from an indifferent opening half, and finish with 30 points, two ahead of fellow team mate Ben Tatum (five). With Watts having been unavailable, and neither Tatum or current Suffolk women's champion Alice Barlow being used for last year's event, all three players were making their debuts on the fast-running, heathland Frilford. Despite her handicap now reduced to two, Barlow scored 34 in her opening round, and with the 30 points from Watts, made a total of 64. It left Newton languishing in 19th place. However, fortunes improved dramatically on the second day, with Newton sweeping 12 places up the leader board. Tatum came home with 33, but Watts and Barlow did even better. Watts scored 37 (including 21 on his second nine) and Barlow played the equivalent to par golf with an excellent 38, giving a team score of 75. Scores: 147 Low Ashton, 147 Nee Park, 143 The Burstead, 141 Bramhall, 141 Bramshall, 140 Truro, 139 Newton Green.

IT’S ALL SO LONG AGO
Extracts from Parish Magazines from the past ALAN VINCE NEWTON GREEN 100 YEARS AGO: Mr William White in his history of Suffolk. Mr Bedford Ward was the local joiner and builder, and Mr James Nicholson the bricklayer. Mr James Hart was the local Miller. Miss Elizabeth Ann Glass is described as blacksmith and victualler at the Saracen’s Head, although it is difficult to image how she would combine both jobs. 60 YEARS AGO – Newton Newsleaf produced by Rev A G Ensor. SEPTEMBER 1956: Chapel News: The Methodist Chapel in Newton Green has just celebrated an important anniversary in its history. Methodists in the middle of the last century used to hold their meetings in a *barn in Church Lane. Then on 3rd September 1864 the present Methodist Chapel was opened. On Sunday 2nd September the anniversary was observed by services in the Chapel in the afternoon and evening in which the children took part. 40 YEARS AGO - Newton Newsletter edited by Frank Rowland SEPTEMBER 1976: Observations from Frank Rowland: It is always being said that Newton would be better off without the Golf Club, and we could look after the Green ourselves. Well, all I can say is, that the Club spends thousands of pounds on keeping the green cut and in order – if they didn’t do it, who would? I have been told that “the village could get together and do it” – WHO? The same ones who have done nothing towards decorating the village hall, or clearing the ponds? If it is left to the majority of the village, Newton Green would be head high in a couple of years and we would need native runners with machetes to get us from one side of the Green to the other! 25 YEARS AGO – Newton Newsletter edited by Gaspard Willis SEPTEMBER 1991: Editor Gaspard Willis writes: I had a very nasty fall tripping over my golf trolley while trying to avoid getting soaked by one of those revolving water hoses on the 2nd green. Dr Donnelly got an ambulance to take me to St Leonard’s for an x-ray. Happily, no bones broken, but my right thigh is very badly bruised and so far, I have only been able to get about the ground floor of the house with the aid of a zimmer kindly lent by Mrs Campbell-Lambert.
*barn in Church Lane The barn stood in the grounds of what is now Barn Cottage in Church Road. The barn, other buildings and land were bought by the Council to build the bungalows in Plamplin Close.

FIRESIDE CLUB
29th July We went to Kelvedon Hatch Secret Bunker. It was amazing and alarming to think what might have been. The secret entrance to the bunker is behind an unassuming rural bungalow deep in the Essex countryside. There are a maze of corridors and rooms built into the hillside 100 feet underground and encased in 10-foot-thick reinforced concrete. Had nuclear war broken out this is where central government and military commanders would have run the region. There could have been up to 600 personnel living there. We saw the canteen which would have been operating around the clock serving hot meals, the dormitory one of five built, to house 600 people on constant "hot bed shifts ", the sick bay with its own operating theatre, the BBC studio which would have issued emergency broadcasts around the region, a room where nuclear blasts and fallout patterns were monitored and the plant room which housed the life support systems for all the bunker, all duplicated! After our morning underground we went to The eagle at Kelvedon hatch for an excellent lunch. Peter Haylock had a lovely surprise as an old colleague joined us for lunch as he lived nearby and Pam had been in touch with him. A really good day out, the journey home was exciting as it poured with rain, not easy driving on narrow roads.
2nd August A Strawberry tea was held in the village hall and enjoyed by all. The weather was hot but we were cool in the hall. My thanks to those who helped with the washing up.
16th August This was a good meeting hearing all about members’ hobbies and craft activities. FUTURE MEETINGS

JT’S JOTTINGS
PRIDE COMES BEFORE A FALL My small area contracting job was growing nicely and I was very surprised to get a call from our neighbouring farmer across the road, who farms about 1500 acres, half arable and the rest sheep and cattle, together with woodland. The man in question was in his seventies and was not as active as he would like. As it appears that I had nothing better to do than ride around the country, ‘Would I like to access to his farm and ride around the wide headlands and generally keep an eye and an ear on things and report back any problems?’ - I certainly would! Valeeta and I enjoyed the new freedom to roam and there were ditches and small hedges and fences to jump, all within a mile of home. As requested we varied our times and days in different ways, so as to confuse the *ne’er-do-wells and I found several. I found a few from time to time loitering with intent or no good, and was able to suggest that to avoid prosecution they should read the notices and make themselves scarce. I did find a poacher with a bag of pheasants and he got fined by the Court. He could have bought the birds legally – it would have been a lot cheaper! I recall one fine morning, Valeeta and I had a good gallop, jumped a few ditches and were now walking slowly around a field of peas. I was riding loose reined, feet out of stirrups and eating an apple – not a care in the world, when we ambled close by a propane banger. I’ve never thought these bangers were a lot of good – one bang and pigeons will rise up and then drop down again, in a different part of the field. This banger thought it might work better on a horse. It did! It went off with a hefty bang. Valeeta shot off from under me, and disappeared faster than we had galloped earlier and was nowhere to be seen. I hit the deck and I didn’t know the ground could be so hard. I sat up and to say that everything ached was no lie. I managed to get up and painfully started a long walk home. How I got there, I don’t know, but where was Valeeta? I found her in her stable eating hay and I swear she had a big smile on her face. Just then mother appeared. ‘Fancy bringing Valeeta home in that state – better get her cleaned up. You should be ashamed and why are you walking like that?’ Mothers! JT *ne’er-do-well is a rogue, vagrant or vagabond (tramp) without means of support. A vagrant could be described as a person without a home or regular work who wanders from place to place and lives by begging. (courtesy of Wikipedia)

HAVE YOU DONE SOMETHING YOU FEEL PROUD OF?
DEDHAM VALE MILL 2 MILL SWIM The Mill to Mill Swim runs from Dedham Mill to Flatford Mill, a distance of approximately 1.5 miles along the beautiful Stour River. The event began in 2013 with just 6 friends deciding to swim. Since then it has grown in size and this year there were over 200 participants. After my recent inaugural open water swim in June, I thought this looked like a very pleasant way to spend a Sunday morning so I duly signed Paul and myself up. At first Paul was a bit reluctant as I had only recently bullied him into open water swimming with me. However, I knew he was up to the challenge!! So on Sunday the 14th September we set off to park at Flatford Mill. We walked along the river to the start of the race at Dedham where we donned our wetsuits in the car park, along with all the other swimmers – not a sight for the faint hearted! Dead on 11.00am the claxon was sounded and we were off. Not really a racing start for Paul and me, much more leisurely so we could admire the beautiful scenery (honestly). The river was chilly, but more challenging was that it was very shallow in places. Without the wetsuits we would have grazed our knees. However, we were determined to swim all the way, so when many decided to walk, we kept swimming. The winning time was a staggering 27 minutes! We were somewhat slower, but were very pleased with our achievement as we were helped out from the river at Flatford Mill.
Got the bug now – next stop Fritton Lake for a 1 mile swim on 4th September. Sue Presland
Most people had brought a picnic so there was a party atmosphere as we waited for the last swimmer to arrive and she was clapped and cheered to the finish line in a time of 1.5 hours.

NEWTON CHRISTMAS CARD COMPETITION?
At a fairly recent Parish Council Coffee Morning, I had a conversation with Bernie Pratt (Nicholson’s Court) about the colour picture on the front of the first edition. This then led onto a conversation about village Christmas cards. So, how about a village Christmas card then? The newsletter can fund the cards, which can then be sold to raise funds for the newsletter. Get your cameras out! Favourite spots around the village. Snow not required! Deadline 21st October 2016.
