Welcome
Dear friends,
I've
had
several
requests for visits since
last month's issue - it's
very heartening to know
that you do actually read
what I write on this page
month by month! Do
keep
the
requests
coming, and I will do my best to follow them
up.
Church as a whole is only just beginning to
address this issue, and we will have to work
hard at it in future. Why not come and hear
Dave Gardner talk about it at our Benefice
dinner in the Village Hall at Raydon on 9 July.
Please book a ticket (£10 per person, BYOB)
with me.
I have preached recently about 'Circles of
Influence' - a phrase taken from Stephen
Covey's '7 Habits of Highly Effective People'.
Basically, each one of us has a Circle of
Influence - people around us whom we can
influence for the good. They then take that
influence out to their own other Circles of
Influence, and that is how good news
spreads. That is exactly how Christianity
spread - from being something that only a
few people understood in a few small towns
in an isolated part of the Roman Empire in
the first century AD, to being a worldwide
religion that forms the basis for most Western
societies to this day. The original 12 disciples
took their beliefs out into the wider world and,
as people heard them and came to believe,
those people in their turn told others and
helped them to believe.
This month, most of us will be longing for our
summer holidays as university, college and
school terms come to an end, though often
they can be a mixed blessing for families,
particularly for those whose parents work full
time. I will be thinking of you and praying that
all will have a time of refreshment and
recharging of the batteries.
We now have a new Bishop in the Diocese,
the Right Reverend Martin Seeley, who has
lots of practical ideas for getting our Diocese
on track to face a future which is looking a little
bleak for the Church of England at present.
Partly this is because in the next 10 years 50%
of priests in the national Church of England
will retire, and there are not enough younger
priests coming through to replace them.
Simply put, in the years ahead, this means that
existing priests will have to take on more and
more parishes, and that we shall need to train
and empower the laity (those who are not
priests) to be able to take more services and
more responsibility for their local churches.
We also need to look at how we attract
younger people into the Church who might
have a vocation to priesthood one day. And
that will probably involve us in 'doing Church'
in very different ways in future, for the
traditional kinds of church service that most of
us have grown up with until now are clearly
not proving attractive to recent generations,
for a whole variety of reasons to do with how
communication is done these days. The
This is exactly what we need to be doing
today if the Church as we know it is not to die
out very rapidly in this country. Most of us
have been content not to pass on the good
news of God's love to the generations below
us - 'Let them come to belief in their own time
if they want to' is the attitude. But if they are
never taught about it, how will they ever be
able to make that choice? We need to use
our Circles of Influence to tell our children
and grandchildren about God's love for them.
Don't let them be the generation that knows
nothing about Him. Over to you...!

have room, and if, in the opinion of the
editors, they are of general interest to our
readers. Please remember all articles will
be subject to editing. We prefer you to
contact us via email where possible.
Another month has passed us by so quickly
and summer still seems to be hiding just
around the corner. The odd few days have
brought out the sunshine but the evenings
still feel a little chilly.
Let’s hope that the weather has been just
right to produce the wonderful exhibits to be
found at the Raydon and District Garden
Club Summer Show - more details on page
11.
Each of the four villages are holding various
events over the summer months, ranging
from delicious afternoon teas and Summer
Afayre in Raydon to a Medieval Fayre in
SSM. Please try and support as many of
these events as you can. There is such a lot
of hard work and effort in planning these
events and bringing them to fruition. A huge
vote of thanks needs to be given to the huge
amount of volunteers ‘behind the scenes’
and we wish you every success.
Copy deadline for next edition:
19th July 2015

interested in volunteering, there are a
number of organisations featured in the

SSM Village Life
By the time this edition of Quartet is published, there will be just two
weeks to go before the Mediaeval Fayre on Saturday 18th July. We
very much hope that a visit to the Fayre is already included in your
plans for that weekend. However, if you have yet to make your decision
perhaps a review of the programme will encourage you to join in an afternoon of
relaxed, light hearted amusement. This will be an opportunity to enjoy the company
of family, friends and neighbours whilst encouraging and supporting a range of
community focused activity.
Opening in the Primary School playing field at noon, the Fayre will provide an
opportunity for visitors to demonstrate their prowess on a variety of traditional and
mediaeval themed, games and pass-times, to work up an appetite for lunch.
At 12:30, there will be a free-of-charge B-B-Q lunch for Children under the age of
14, who live in, or have family living in, the Stratford St Mary area. For the rest of
us, the PTA will be a serving up a Hog-Roast and there will be a variety of other
refreshment options available throughout the afternoon. Something not to be missed
will be the traditional cream teas served by Christine and her team from the Church.
The Ale Bar at the VillageLife Tavern will be serving local ale from the Swan
micro-brewery (and jolly good it is too) and the Tavern will also host a Wine-Bar,
manned by volunteers from the Church Fabric fund.
The afternoon’s entertainment will include traditional Punch and Judy (at 1, 3 and
4.30pm), live music from ‘The InFirm’ (1.30 & 3.30pm) and the PTA will be running
‘three Children’s Craft Workshops’ with a mediaeval theme between 1.00 and
2.30pm, culminating in a chance for the participants to join a parade in the arena
at 2.30pm, to show-off the results of their handiwork. Also in the arena, the
‘FunDancing Maypolers’ will be tripping the light fantastic from 2pm and offering
opportunity for audience participation from 2.40pm.
At the heart of the afternoon’s frivolity will be two other audience participation events.
The Magna-Games, a mini-Olympic style competition involving, amongst other
things, wheelbarrows, water, shovels, cabbages and participant skill and agility.
The other, Kart-Eventing, is something like equestrian eventing but somewhat sillier.
Please visit the VL web-site, www.stratford-st-mary.org , to learn more, register and
buy tickets and then join us on the day, prepared to take part.
If you feel like really entering into the mediaeval mood, why not get into costume?
You know you want to!
We look forward to welcoming you.

bright and sunny, the
day for our Fair Trade
coffee morning. I was
far from bright and
sunny though as over
St Mary’s Church,
Raydon
Sunday 5 July 2015
the bank holiday weekend one of my
chickens (the cream leg bar called Tara)
had become really poorly. The only
appointment at the Vet was for 11am so
the “tea team” took over again although I
was able to stay for a short while. As
expected the news was not good and
sadly I had to come home without my
Tara.
It was good to hear though that the coffee
morning had gone well and quite a few of
our regulars had recovered from colds etc.
or returned from holidays so I'm really
looking forward to catching up with
everyone again.
Our next event on July 21st will be very
close to the fundraising event “August
Afayre” which is on August 1st this year.
This will be your chance to bring along
items for the tombola or raffle, to put your
name down for helping on the day, or
offering to make a cake or supply a plant
or two for the stalls.
Sunday 2 August 2015
Sunday 6 September 2015
Teas served from 3.00 to 5.00 pm
In aid of our Fabric Fund.
NEW WEBSITE GOES LIVE!
The new Raydon website is now live please visit www.raydonpc.org and
‘contact us’ let us know what you think.
Well, I hope you are able to come along
and enjoy the good coffee and cookies as
well as a good chat with everyone, so look
forward to seeing you all on July 21st.
Many thanks

night. Plenty of car parking space, with
additional parking at "The Old Forge"
which is a easy walking distance to the
garden for most.
Summer show time is on Sat 15th
August and open to all persons living in
the catchment areas (see rules in front
of show schedules). Children or
grandchildren (with two sections up to 8
yrs and 8 to 14 yrs) you have money
prizes as well as cups to win so have a
go and enjoy the fun of taking part in a
village show.
Advance notice:- The 24th Sept meeting
is all about Bulbs for planting ready for
the next Spring & our Charity open
evening is for Parkinson's Disease on
22nd October both to be held in village

As always your committee looks forward
to meeting you at all our events.
Geoff Horrex (01473 310422)
Writing these notes on the 15th of June
we are heading for the longest day
once again, and hopefully at least
another 2/3 months of lovely summer
weather to look forward to. On summer
days with not quite so much to do in the
gardens it’s time for holidays, and days
out into the wonderful English
Countryside to enjoy all that is so great
at this time of year like a nice walk to
enjoy nature, a day at the seaside
perhaps or by a river or to just sit in your
garden. The "lazy hazy" days of
summer are to be enjoyed but also to
have a deserved rest.
Our May club meeting enjoyed a
energetic, humorous, informative and
a most interesting talk with our guest
speaker from "The Bourne Garden
Centre" Ipswich. We were taken
through a whole range of plants which
were on show, also available for
purchase afterwards, It was explained
how these were produced, the tricks of
the trade, how they get them to grow to
certain heights and flower at the correct
times like you see at Chelsea flower
show etc. A great evening which we all
enjoyed.
July 2nd the club will be visiting a local
garden in Lower Raydon called
"Foxwood" just by the turning to
Shelley. Please come direct for 7.30pm
start. A charge of £2.00 per head will
be made and given to a charity of the
owners’ choice.

Higham
Apologies to Higham - we were hoping
for an article about the Art Show but we
needed to go to print.
Hopefully we will have it for next month
but we hope you enjoy this recipe
submitted by one of our readers..
Maple & Walnut Cheesecake
For the base
250g (9 oz.) Digestive biscuits
100g (4 oz.) Butter, melted
For the topping
400ml (14 fl oz.) Sour cream
50g (2 oz.) Caster Sugar
2tsp Vanilla Extract
35g (1¼ oz.) Walnuts, Chopped
For the filling
900g (2lb) Philadelphia cheese
300g (10 oz.) Caster sugar
3tsp Vanilla extract
75ml (3fl oz.) Maple syrup
50g (2 oz.) Walnuts, chopped
4 large eggs
For the decoration
Handful of Walnuts, broken into pieces
Method:
1. Lightly oil a 10” (25.5cm) x 3 “ spring form/loose based cake tin
2. Make the base by crushing the biscuits to fine crumbs (this can be done by placing
the biscuits into a plastic bag and rolling a rolling pin over it) then add the melted
butter and mix well. Press into the base of the tin (a glove made of clingfilm works
well) and then place in the fridge while you make the cheesecake mix.
3. Heat the oven to 180c (160c fan oven) 350F/gas mark 4 and place a roasting tin ¾
full of hot water in the bottom of the oven (which helps to minimise any cracks in
the cheesecake).
4. Whisk the cheese with an electric whisk until fluffy then add the sugar, vanilla extract, maple syrup and walnuts and whisk together.
5. Very slowly add the eggs (preferably one at a time), without over beating.
6. Pour mixture into the tin and bake in the centre of the oven for 50 minutes.
7. Take the cake out of the oven (it will have a slight wobble to it and may sink in the
middle but this is normal) and leave on the side for 10 minutes.
8. Mix together all the ingredients for the topping and pour over the cake (this is also
a good way to hide any cracks/sunken areas) and bake for a further 10 to 15 minutes.
9. Immediately after removing from oven drop some small pieces of broken walnuts to
the top and place into fridge for a minimum of 2 hours (preferably overnight).
Please Note
This is a very light textured cheesecake. If you prefer, you can bake for 60 minutes rather
than 50 stated for a slightly firmer result.

Ardleigh Surgery News
Named accountable General Practitioner
The Government is contractually requiring
general practices to allocate a named
accountable GP to all patients. However, we
are not required to inform patients individually
but to advise patients by means of our website
and practice leaflet that a named GP has been
allocated. From a practical point of view this
does not alter the arrangement whereby
patients can choose which GP they wish to
consult.
CAN YOU HELP?
If a patient wishes to know the name of their
accountable GP please contact the practice.
If you wish to express a preference as to
which GP you have been assigned this can
be accommodated.
RDA Ipswich based at Bentley Riding
School are looking for helpers to lead the
ponies and/or sidewalk the young riders
on Thursdays
from 1 – 2.45 p.m (term time only).
Car parking
If you would like to know more or come
along to visit during a session at Bentley
Riding Centre
please telephone
Frances Torrington on
01473 312046/07711080658
Can patients please note that the car parking
at the Ardleigh surgery is restricted to disabled
patients and parents with ill babies. There are
limited car parking spaces and too many cars
trying to park creates a dangerous situation.
Able bodied patients should, therefore, use
the public car which is only a few minutes
away. Patients are also requested not to use
the staff car park at the rear of the surgery for
parking or for turning around their car as staff
cars have been damaged; two in the past year.
You will receive a very warm welcome,
make new friends and be achieving
something really worthwhile.
Previous experience with horses helpful
but certainly not essential!
Fred Merrin, Practice Manager

check required

don’t be offended if your GP or nurse asks
you to purchase medication yourself.

Practice – Practice Update
June 2015
Training Days
Just a reminder that the practice will be
closed from 1pm on the following dates for
staff training:
24th June 2015 (Wednesday)
17th September (Thursday)
14th October (Wednesday)
Update Following Our CQC Inspection
We wrote to all households in early May to
inform patients of the outcome of our CQC
inspection and assure you of our
commitment to addressing the concerns
raised by the CQC. We also held an open
evening on 1st June for patients to find out
more about the practice and to answer any
questions you had. This was a wellattended and the majority of patients
entered into constructive dialogue. We took
the opportunity to promote the new Patient
Participation Group we are establishing with
the help of Healthwatch, and will be holding
the first meeting late June.
On these afternoons the doors will be
closed so please ensure any prescriptions
are picked up well beforehand. If you phone
the practice the recorded message will ask
you to ring 111 for medical assistance if
your problem cannot wait until the next day.
Pete Keeble
Practice Manager
The CQC visited the practice again on 15th
May and were happy that we had made
good progress since their report had been
presented to the practice in April. They were
satisfied that their most serious concerns
had been fully addressed. The CQC will
undertake a full inspection of the practice at
the end of the summer at which time they
will expect all issues highlighted in their
report to be resolved. The practice has put
in place an improvement plan and we are
on track to fully deliver against that plan.

Restricted Prescribing list
Last year in Ipswich and East Suffolk, over
£1m was spent on prescribing paracetamol,
which can readily be obtained from
pharmacies without prescription. The
Clinical Commissioning Group is advising
all practices to limit prescribing medication
which can be obtained without prescription,
often at low cost, from pharmacies and
supermarkets. Such medicines include
analgesics, emollients and antihistamines.
There are always exceptions but please

Kenny's SESAW July news
Nayland Flower Show
Saturday 8th August
Important announcement! This is your
official invitation to the SESAW Open Day,
Fete and Fun Dog Show at midday on
26th July. We look forward to meeting old
and new friends – particularly ex-SESAW
dogs! There will be displays by ACE
Agility, doggy games and 13 classes
including a special one for our re-homed
canines. Our volunteers love to see how
the dogs are progressing, what better time
for a get-together and photos? I must
also mention the stalls, games,
competitions, wildlife corner, BBQ,
homemade food, ice cream van, bouncy
castle and music from “Jazz Galore”.
Visitors will also see the animals awaiting
homes and view entries to our Facebook
Photo Competition. All this in just four
hours, whatever the weather as most of it
will be under marquees and gazeboes.
2pm-5pm Nayland Village
Hall, Church Lane (off High
Street) CO6 4JH.
Refreshments, produce stall, raffle entry 50p.
There are 89 classes for vegetables,
fruit, flowers, flower arranging,
photography, art, craft, cookery,
country drinks as well as family and
children’s sections. Non members

schedules and more info from
www.naylandhortsoc.org.uk or
Lorraine 01206 262807
The Village Life Group have kindly invited
us to have a SESAW Pet's Corner at the
Stratford St. Mary Mediaeval Fayre on
18th July. Barbara and friends look
forward to seeing you there but Mum says
I'm too little to stay out all after afternoon
so come and meet me at our Open Day.
LADIES’ TOURNAMENT 2015
Thursday 11th June was the annual
Ladies’ Tournament at Dedham Tennis
Club. Players from other clubs around
Colchester & Dedham participated in
the American tournament, which has
been held for over 20 years.
After a full morning’s play in glorious
sunshine, 4 finalists took to the court
for a 15 point tie-break to decide the
winners, watched by an enthralled
crowd. Hayley Everett of Dedham &
Dominica Yannaghas of Hadleigh
eventually overcame Christine Clark of
Dedham & Sue Dixon of Lexden
Rackets & Fitness Club.
They were presented with prizes,
vouchers kindly donated by Stringers’
World, after which a delicious lunch
was served by the Dedham ladies.
Over £450 was raised at our Bank Holiday
Garage Sale which was more like a social
occasion, thanks to all the lovely people
who attended. Next month I'll tell you
about our Autumn fundraising events and
animals for rehoming. Currently Mum is
busy feeding the annual influx of wildlife
casualties and last week two litters of
kittens were born.
After all the painting, repairing and
hammering in the garden it is time for me
to inspect the Open Day preparations.
They have made a good job of the fencing
but I know there is still a space that a few
can get through, including me, Kenny (the
Boss) Chihuahua!
