Welcome
Dear friends,
In our own Benefice this month, please
come and support our Churchwardens as
they are 'sworn in' by Archdeacon David
Jenkins on 4 June at 7.30 p.m. at St Mary's
Hadleigh.
You will all now
have heard, I
hope, about the
way in which
things across the
Deanery
are
b e i n g
reorganised so that all 22 parishes in
Hadleigh Deanery can work more closely
together. Mainly it is a question of much of
the administration of all the parishes being
centralized in the office in St Mary's
Hadleigh, which frees up the 3 remaining
priests around the Deanery to do more
pastoral work. From my perspective, that
is all to the good, as until now I have had to
spend a great deal of my time in front of the
computer and photocopier, putting together
service and pew sheets, and doing
paperwork relating to things like weddings,
baptisms, funerals etc etc. And you thought
priests only worked on Sundays! I hope
now to be able to do more visiting, so if you
would like a visit, please just let me know.
Don't forget that we start serving Teas in
the Church at Raydon from 3-5 p.m. on the
first Sunday of the month (7 June in this
case). Please encourage anyone you
know who likes a good tea to come, as the
bakers of Raydon do an excellent job of
making wonderful cakes; it's the best value
tea in town!
And finally, the Higham Art Exhibition is
back this year, from 19-21 June. There
will be the usual high quality paintings from
local artists, so do come and choose the
next 'new master' to hang on your wall.
Rosalind Paul
Rector
It also means that we shall be running
courses together for couples to be married
in our churches, and for all our Elders; the
priests will go around each others' parishes
to preach a bit more; we shall have more
joint services (on 5th Sundays), and
hopefully will share each others' resources
more in terms of (wo)man power.
Our first major service together under this
new way of working together was on 31
May; the next one will be on 30 August. On
those Sundays, we shall only have the one
service and ask you all to come to Hadleigh
to worship (and eat afterwards!) as one
Christian family together.

Editors Corner
Articles for the Quartet are included if we
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.
The Quartet is full again of all sorts of
interesting events and opportunities from our
parishes and beyond. It always surprises me
how much goes on every month of the year!
An interesting opportunity has arisen at
Quartet headquarters (our inbox) this month
with an email from Murray Rose. Murray
would like to get more involved in journalism
and has offered his talents to the team. We
shall officially welcome him on board as an
editor in the July edition, so look out for his
input next month! It’s always good to get new
talent and fresh ideas, so we’re really glad
to have Murray on board!
There are several big events coming up
soon, so don’t forget to put them in your diary.
Village Life Medieval Fayre (see page 8)
The Constable Singers have a music
evening (see page 9) and of course summer
wouldn’t be the same without the Higham Art
Show (see the Higham page 14) Help is
needed manning the Tea Tent here too.
Copy deadline for next edition:
19th June 2015
Finally there are quite a few opportunities to
help in the magazine this month. Riding for
the Disabled is looking for helpers to lead the
ponies (page 17) and volunteer rangers are
needed by the Dedham Vale AONB and
Stour Valley Project (see page 18). The
University of East Anglia are looking for
volunteers to help with their blueberry study
(page 21) and finally the Red Cross are
appealing for financial help as they try to
tackle the crisis in Nepal following the
earthquake (page 13).

It has been reported that a swan was killed
by two unattended dogs, possibly spaniels,
on the water meadows between Stratford
St Mary and Higham. As well as being
extremely upsetting, this is, in fact, illegal
as swans are protected by law. Please
ensure dogs are supervised, especially
when wildfowl are nesting and/or have
young.

SSM Village Life
This year’s Stratford St Mary summer event is a collaboration between
and
the Stratford St Mary School PTA, supported by several voluntary groups from the area.
Taking the theme of a Mediaeval Fayre, the objective is to provide an afternoon of relaxed,
light- hearted amusement that will create opportunity for residents and friends to enjoy
each other’s company at the same time as encouraging a wide range of community
activity.
Providing opportunity for have-a-go Archery, May-Pole Dancing, and demonstration of
prowess in a variety of competitive events, The Fayre will offer a wide range of
refreshments including traditional cream teas, a hog-roast and locally brewed ale from
the new micro-brewery at the Swan. To cover the necessary expenses for the event, there
will be a small entry fee for adults but children under 14 will be free and they will be
able to enjoy a free B-B-Q lunch, thanks to support from the Parish Council.
More information, call Brian Such 01206 323 091.

Raydon
Fair
Trade
Coffee Morning.
St Mary’s Church,
Raydon
It
was a very bright
and sunny morning for
our April Fair trade
Coffee Morning. I was
just
arriving
in
Yorkshire when you
Sunday 7 June 2015
Sunday 5 July 2015
Sunday 2 August 2015
were all gathering for coffee, it was my
annual visit to a friend on her birthday. The
“Tea Team” were in charge today so a very
big thank you to them!
I understand that all went well with plenty
of chatting but numbers were down though,
sadly due to continuing ill health and
hospital stays. Let’s hope our friends are
now on the road to recovery and will be able
to visit again soon.
We will have had our May coffee morning
before you get this edition of the Quartet,
but the afternoon teas on June 7th and the
Big Book and bric-a-brac sale on June 13th
are still to happen. So do hope you'll be able
to support these fund raising events.
Our next Fair Trade coffee morning is on
June 23rd when hopefully we will have had
a sign that summer is coming! We will have
just had “midsummer day” so it surely must
happen soon!
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.
Look forward to seeing everyone again
soon.

Gardening Club
What a lovely month May is with so much
colour all around us both in the gardens and
also out in the countryside. Writing these
notes on the 3rd of May after spending
yesterday walking and taking in the
wonderful sight and perfume of some of
Suffolk's fantastic bluebell woods which are
in full flower. With the dappled sunlight
coming through the trees and the
peacefulness of no road noise it’s just such
a delight to stand there and just spend time
watching, as well as hearing all the different
birds singing, including Blackcap, Garden
Warbler, Willow Warbler, but sadly no
Nightingale and yet to hear the Cuckoo. We
did see Swallows and House Martins which
is always a good sign summer is coming.
So back to our gardens and what a picture
with late daffs/narcissus, tulips, and all the
other flowering shrubs which quickly follow.
Have you ever noted how many different
shades of green there are in Springtime
which makes such a wonderful backdrop to
all the many colours that we enjoy this time
of year.
So to club meetings and on April 23rd we
all enjoyed a evening with Maggie Thorpe,
President of the Suffolk Plant Heritage
(national council for the conservation of
plants & gardens) group who stood in at
very short notice for Peggy Cole who was
unable to come due to health reasons. It
was a most informative evening and a lot
was learned by members on how this group
of individuals produce plants to sell, to use
the funding to help ensure we do not lose
these plants for ever. Now looking ahead
to June we have the coach outing to
Blickling House & Gardens in North Norfolk
on Sunday 21st. Pick up points as usual in
Hadleigh (8.30am), then via Upper Layham
(8.40am), Raydon Village Hall (8.45am), and
Holton St Mary (8.55am) , then in early July
(date tba) a local garden evening visit is
being planned.
Thank you to all the members and guests
who support this club every year, (now our
35th year) which is so nice when all around
us other village garden clubs are folding due
mostly, not to garden club members but
because nobody is willing to run the clubs,
its such a shame. A country village is like a
garden, it will only flourish if tended and
supported by those who live there, otherwise
it will just lose it’s identity & fade away. Hope
you are all enjoying your gardens as much
as possible and it should soon be warm
enough to get the deck chairs out and spend
a lazy afternoon outdoors. Remember new
guests are always welcome to come to all
meetings and events (small fee payable),or
this is waived if you join on full membership.
Anybody interested find all the information

SESAW NEWS
Things have come to a pretty pass! First
I was usurped by that precocious Ollie
"The Black" Cat when he wrote my April
blog. Next, I missed the Quartet May
deadline because I had to wait for my
article to be typed. Generally I'm an
easy going fellow but I think the time has
come to find some more helpers! The
fundraisers are rushed off their feet
organising events so if you would like to
join the happy team please leave a
message on the answer phone.

Life at SESAW can be a roller coaster of
happy and sad stories but this one ends
like a Walt Disney film. Three months
ago, a Graylag Goose was shot and
callously left to die. Fortunately, caring
people brought her to SESAW where she
eventually recovered and was ready for
release. Very early this morning, along
with our own domestic geese and ducks
on the field, Mum spotted something new
- a pair of Graylag Geese. Quietly, she
ushered the rescued bird out to meet the
visitors and after grazing for two hours,
the three flew away together until they
disappeared into the distance. Arrh!
Meanwhile, two little chaps still looking
for a home are Snoopy, a Parsons Jack
Russell and his Chihuahua type
companion, Pip who loves a cuddle once
he knows you. Initially nervous, these

BRANTHAM'S ANNUAL MEGA
CHARITY GARAGE SALE
Saturday
20th June 2015
9.30 a.m. to 4.30 p.m.
We want to encourage everyone not to
ignore the signs and symptoms of illness,
to get the help and advice they need in
order to stay healthy and avoid an
unnecessary hospital stay.
There are a number of healthcare options:
● NHS 111 for help
and advice on urgent
medical matters. When
the GP surgery is
closed and it’s not a
life-threatening
emergency, then call
NHS 111. Calls are free
and will be answered by
a trained health advisor,
24hours a day.
· Pharmacists
are
experts on medicines
and can offer a range of over-the-counter
medicines to help treat minor illness. Many
pharmacies are open long hours, so they
are very accessible.
·
Make a GP appointment. Many older
people are reluctant to make a GP
appointment.
Open garages throughout the village will
be selling a treasure trove of household
items needing a new home, all at bargain
prices. Look for the balloons & signs
throughout Brantham on the A137
The Village Hall will host a TABLE TOP
SALE with WI Refreshments, Handicrafts,
Preserves and Plants.
There will be a BBQ, Tombola, Ice Cream
Van and much much more...

disposal is vital to keep these rodents at
bay.
· Seagulls – Unsecured bins or bags of
rubbish left open are a target for gulls who
can raid bins and rip open bin bags,
scattering your waste across the street. It
is advisable to put household bags out on
the day of collection and invest in a lidded
bin, if you haven’t been supplied with a
wheelie bin.
· Ants – As these insects leave a trail of
pheromone to identify a food source to other
ants, your bins can soon be overrun by
these tiny creatures. Clean up waste and
empty bins, including household bins,
regularly.
Why it’s Vital to Secure Your
Bins
Households and businesses collectively
produce an incredible 180 million tonnes of
rubbish a year in England alone. Add to this
fact that you are never too far away from a
rat – or any pest for that matter – if you don’t
secure your bins properly, you put your
home at risk of attracting unwanted visitors
such as rodents, seagulls, squirrels,
cockroaches and wasps.
If waste is not put into bins, or the bins are
overflowing, then rats and gulls can get to
the contents. Rats need water, a food
source and harbourage, if they have all
three of these they breed very quickly.
Rats only have a three week gestation
period and they can have eight young at a
time. These young mature at 10-12 weeks,
so the numbers can escalate very quickly
in a year.
It is thought that the problem has escalated
since fortnightly bin collections were
introduced in 2005, and if people skip a
week and forget to put their waste out,
rubbish can soon mount up.
There is more information about bin pests
on www.eandspestsolutions.co.uk or ring
01473 328092 for further free advice.
By: Mandie Collinson - Essex & Suffolk
Pest Solutions Ltd
So What’s the Solution?
If you have a rat or bin pest problem, the
best thing to do is to call on the experts to
treat your infestation and offer advice on
proofing.
Here are seven common pests that are
attracted to unsecured bins:
· Rats – Once they spot a food source,
such as overflowing bin stores and bags of
rubbish being regularly left out the street,
rats will harbour as near as possible to it,
which can be in a hedge or in a house. They
are attracted to waste such as leftover food
and can multiply very quickly.
· Mice – Like rats, they live where
humans do and are attracted by a ready
food source such as overflowing bins and
spilled food. And, as they can get through
gaps as small as 25 mm they can be a real
menace. Kitchen hygiene and proper waste
