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.

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.

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!

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

Thanks

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 2 nd
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.

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!

*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.
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.
Got the bug now – next stop Fritton Lake for a 1 mile swim on 4th September.

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.
