Yet again the golf day was played in
sunshine under blue skies, ideal
golfing weather. Nine teams entered the
competition, including golfers from as far away
as Southend on Sea. The Growlers (Frank
Wilkin, Glen Avis, Keith Bell and Mark Blades)
won finishing 8 points ahead of the Priory
Prodigies captained by Roger Luxmoore Styles
who for the second year running claimed
second place. G Jones had the highest
individual score outside the winning teams (41
points) and Malcolm Rogerson and Michael
Deakin won the nearest the pin prizes
With the help of generous donations from
Charles Stanley and Newton Investment
Management who provided the prizes for the
golf and a number of local companies that made
donations for the raffle, the event raised £918
for the church restoration fund.
I would like to thank all of the many
organisations and individuals that played or
donated prizes, and Julia Faulds, Julia Woolley,
Catriona Pakenham-Walsh and Peter Hollis for
all of their work in helping to run the day.
Special thanks also go to Henry and all of his
team at Hintlesham Golf Club for helping make
the day a success.

NOTES FROM THE ANNUAL PARISH MEETING FOR HINTLESHAM
and the PARISH MEETING FOR HINTLESHAM and CHATTISHAM
on THURSDAY 16thAPRIL 2015 at 7.30pm.
Present at the meeting were 11 Parish Councillors, County Councillor David Busby,
District Councillor Nick Ridley and 8 members of the public. Apologies for absence
were received from Peter Eaton, Peter Jones and Jenny Cox.
the play areas. Community organisations
are to be asked to voice their support for
our intended improvements. Hastoe
Housing Association were disappointed
with recent reports of cannabis abuse at
St Nicolas’ Close and will take appropriate
action against the miscreant/s. Members
of the public expressed their dismay at the
speed of traffic on George Street. Whilst
the Parish Council has had many meetings
with various highways departments, has
taken the initiative with their speed watch
campaign and liaised with Celotex, there is
obvious frustration with the perceived lack
of progress in traffic calming. We will write
to all the major hauliers in the area and
contact the Suffolk Police Commissioner,
Tim Passmore, to try to make our village
roads safer.
Annual Hintlesham Meeting
The Parish highlighted the continuing
success of our Primary School and the
completion of the Affordable Housing at
St Nicholas Place. It looked forward to the
possible alleviation of traffic congestion
with restrictive parking confirmed from
September 2015 on George Street. The
Parish welcomed the start of the
Neighbourhood Planning initiative. The
County Council report cited the continuing
support for the Arts, the improvement in
broadband speed and the rise in the
number of apprenticeships. The District
Council report stressed the importance of
the Government’s New Homes’ Bonus as
an income source for Babergh and the
success of the waste incinerator at
Gt.Blakenham. All three councils reported
on the existing problem of traffic volumes
on the A1071 and the negative impact of
future developments along the route.

Burglary Prevention advice
The county of Suffolk has always been a low crime area and a safe and beautiful place to live and
work. Suffolk Constabulary is committed to ensuring it stays that way. Unfortunately over the
past couple of months the Western area has suffered a significant increase in burglary dwelling
offences, with 66 burglaries across both the Babergh and Mid Suffolk districts since 1st January.
Offences are occurring during both the daytime and the evening and jewellery is the main item
stolen. It is believed offenders are becoming more risky when committing offences and there
may be times when local residents have seen the offender(s) in the area. Suffolk Police would
like to remind local residents that if they see any people or vehicles that look out of place or
which raise suspicions please telephone on 101 with any information such as time, location,
clothing or registration details. Always 999 however if an offence is taking place.

Mr Phil Hadwen spoke in
April about the history of Felixstowe in its
heyday before the advent of cheap foreign
holidays. It seems that Felixstowe was one of
the most popular seaside resorts in the
country, a rival to Brighton and even
Blackpool, with trains running direct from
Liverpool Street, a big boating lake, smart
hotels, and even a big dipper in the grand
amusement park. Members were very
interested and will look out for the old buildings
which still remain today from those far-off
days.The meeting on the 5th May will be a
hairdressing demonstration by John Olivers
of Gt Colman Street, Ipswich.Chris Banyard
gave details of two proposed summer outings:
one to West Stow Hall near Bury St Edmunds
in June, and another to Jim Lawrence, Hadleigh
(with cream tea to follow) in July.
