Registered Charity No. 274549
The Editor’s decision on whether or where to place material is
final. Whileevery effort is made to check information published,
the BCC does notendorse the accuracy or reliability of any article
or advert within the magazine.
E.O.E.
Notes from the EditorLast time I was writing about snowdrops and
now there is beautifulblossom everywhere. The weeks have been
racing past and we’ve hadthe fun of the Beetle Drive, the Neal’s
Yard party and the Easter Egg Hunt.Thanks to Patricia for bringing
her bunny over to meet us.Soon it will be the Summer Fete - do join
us if you can, the more themerrier! If you can lend a hand, that
would be much appreciated too.The Echo is mainly financed by our
advertisers, so please give them yoursupport when you can.One more
date for your diary - 28th June is National Unplugging Day.
(It’salso the date of Morning Chorus’ concert in the church - see
separate slip).We’re being encouraged to put down our smartphones,
tablets andcomputers for 24 hours to experience life unplugged.I
spend more than enough time checking in on my work phone but,
scarily,a recent study found the ‘average’ parent uses their
smartphone 240times a day – on emails, texts and social media.
That’s equivalent to fourhours every day. In fact, nearly half of
parents surveyed are logging intoFacebook or other social media
before doing anything else – eyes gluedto their phones even before
getting out of bed or seeing to the kids!If you manage to take a
break from technology, let me know what youget up to so we can
share ideas of places to go and things to do withother readers in
the August issue of the Echo.
Good Health, Tish

BADINGHAMIt seems time has flown since the long winter months
and we are all lookingforward to a warm and sunny summer.
Summer FeteThis year’s fete will again be held at Badingham
White Horse by kindpermission of Lisa and Mark. We had such a good
time last June with theparty atmosphere extending into the evening.
We are hoping the weatherwill be as kind as last year – warm and
sunny. It’s a lovely occasion formeeting friends and making new
ones.
This is our major fund-raising event of the year so please come
along andjoin in the fun. It will be the second year for our Bale
Race, organised byRoger Pryke and Rob Welham – contact them for
further details. We dohope we have lots of contestants.
The week prior to the fete a committee member will call to
collect anycontributions you can make towards the tombola or
raffle. We are extremelygrateful for your generosity and value your
support.
Easter Egg HuntAs only a handful of children have taken part in
recent years, we havedecided to give the Easter Egg Hunt a rest for
the time being. A big thankyou to Sonja and Tish who organised this
year’s activity and also to Patriciawho added a seasonal touch by
taking her own Easter Bunny into thechurchyard for the children to
enjoy.
DefibrillatorThank you to everyone who keeps an ‘eye’ on the
defib. I haven’t heard ofanyone needing it so far – thank
goodness!

Jumble Sale Success
The Jumble Sale held in Village Hall onSaturday 2 May raised the
fantastic sum of£334 for Hillside Sanctuary Equine Appeal.
It was a pity more villagers couldn't attend, but for the
loyalregulars who supported or donated in different ways - a
bigTHANK YOU!
A nice bonus was the folk who came from Loddon having seenthe
event details on the village website, so it's well worth usingit to
advertise your event.
Patricia Grant
This proved to be a very enjoyable evening - thank you
everyonewho helped, Caroline for the presentation and everyone who
came
along to support. We raised £111.50 for the Village Hall.
Ann Foster
Beetle DriveThank you everyone who came along and supported our
Beetle Drive. Ihad no idea how many different versions of playing
the game therewere!
It was a lively and fun evening with quite a lot of noise
(someone listeningoutside said it sounded like the money changers
in the Temple), someextremely artistic and imaginative beetles were
drawn - sadly there wasno prize for the best only for the person
scoring the highest number ofpoints and for the person scoring the
lowest number of points.
We all enjoyed delicious refreshments and £254.50. was raised
forchurch funds of which 10% will be donated to the Village
Hall.
Thank you to all helpers - these things could not be done
without you.Ann Foster on behalf of Badingham PCC.

BADINGHAMNEIGHBOURHOOD WATCHSonja Russell,Head Co-OrdinatorTel:
01728 638268May I remind everyone when they goaway to LIGHT UP -
LOCK UP theirhomes securely. A few weeks ago I hada phone call one
dark evening from acoordinator who heard a house alarm.He checked
around the garden and out-side of the house only to find NOLIGHTS
ON – doesn’t this give thieves atarget to break in? A well-lit
house givesthe impression that someone is in.
· Use timer switches
· Don’t leave curtains closed dur-ing the daytime (unless the
sunharms your furniture, that is)
· Lock windows and doors
· Keep gates well secured
· Keep valuable items out of viewBANK CARD SCAMSThere have been
further scams involvingbankcards in recent weeks. On 4th Marchclose
to Saxmundham a phone callclaimed there was a problem with a
bank-card and a courier was being sent tocollect it. The card was
then used threetimes to withdraw large quantities ofcash. Please,
everyone beware.
SAXMUNDHAMMarket Place: between 16 and 22 April –two aluminium
ladders stolen.
Park End: overnight 6 May – cash, satnav and cans of drink
stolen from car ondriveway.
VILLAGESBadingham: 29 April - 2 May – voice boxbird scarer
removed from field.
Benhall: overnight 5 May and again 8May – entry to insecure
vehicles.
Thorington: 6 May - fence posts removedfrom property and between
8 / 9 Maymetal posts taken from farm track.

Earl Soham:21 - 28 April – entry to insecure garage;garden tools
removed.28 April – 200 aluminium frames stolenfrom pallets at
business premises.1 May – four Koi carp removed fromgarden
pond.
Sternfield: 12 April - 3 May – old bronzeink well stolen from
church.
Police link theftsPolice are appealing for help following
asequence of thefts in Friston, Sternfieldand Benhall on Wednesday
22 April. Ahandbag, keys and a quantity of CDswere stolen from a
home in Friston. AHonda Civic was taken - later located inHawke
Road, Ipswich – and a sat navstolen from another car parked
outside.Two cycles found abandoned close byare believed stolen from
a farm Fristonthat afternoon. A shed was broken into
-
19
and, as well as the bikes, several toolswere stolen - including
a Stihl hedgecutter, a pressure washer and two
Stihlleafblowers.
Police are linking these incidents to thetheft of sunglasses and
a torch from aPeugeot parked at The Street, Sternfieldand to
several vehicle crime incidents inBenhall on the same night.
A TomTom sat nav, sunglasses andcash were stolen from the
Peugeot,while two other vehicles were enteredand searched but
nothing was stolen.Contact Suffolk Police on 101 and quotecrime
number LE/15/416. You can alsocontact Crimestoppers, anonymously,on
0800 555 111.
Road Rage Incidents rise in SuffolkIncidents rose by nearly 50%
in 2013and 2014. The most common situationswhich cause motorists to
lose their tem-per are people driving unnecessarilyclose, being cut
up on the road or beingstuck behind bicycles and tractors.
Acci-dents have been caused through this. Iknow how one feels, just
be patient - theroad is for everyone.
Tractor Speed LimitsIn March, the speed limit for tractors
wasincreased by 5mph to 20mph. The maxi-mum combined weight limit
for tractorsand trailers has also risen, from 24 to 31tonnes. It is
hoped by this will go a longway towards making rural roads safer
byreducing the amount of overtaking indangerous places. I am a bit
concernedabout dangerous driving in Low Street,Mill Road, Bowling
Green Road and ourlanes. I can assure you if there poordriving is
observed, it will be reported.We have to think of the safety of
cyclists,walkers, motorists and horse riders too.
Rogue TradersBill Simpson, a 57 year old rogue builderfrom
Hinton, has been jailed after beingfound guilty of undertaking roof
repairswithout permission. He had been askedo clear moss off of a
roof and cleangutters. Simpson said the work wouldcost as much as
£1100. In 2009 he wasconvicted of conning an elderly coupleout of
£16,000 after repairing a brokenroof tile.
This case highlights the great work ofSuffolk Trading Standards
working inpartnership with Suffolk Constabulary.This is not the
first time I’ve heard of thistype of thing happening locally,
pleasebe aware at all times.
If you have any concerns about a traderwho is working on your
home, or aneighbour’s, contact Suffolk TradingStandards on 0345
040506.
Teenage risk: e-cigarettesDo you realise what goes into
these?They are dangerous – they contain ahighly addictive drug.
Although saferthan smoking, regularly inhaling nicotinecan cause
brain damage while the brainis still growing. Hundreds of
thousandsof young teenagers are usinge-cigarettes as a new
recreational drug.They should be banned for healthreasons - and it
smells horrible too.
Next issue: Crime Stoppers, how it works.
Have a great summer, enjoy your holi-days and come back safely.
Lock upyour homes and leave timer lights on.

HISTORIC FINDS IN BADINGHAM
Earlier this month a BAFTA was won by The Dectorists a BBCseries
partly filmed in Framlingham. Here, Sonja writes aboutsome of
Badingham’s historic finds.As we all know, metal-detecting is a
popular hobby forthose who are honest and mindful of other
people’sproperty. Yet others are quite the opposite and would
takeit all, even without permission for going on the land.During
the early 80s to late 90s we had two lovely men who were
metaldetecting enthusiasts live in Badingham...Colin Ware and
TerryMarsh. Colin lived in The Willows, Bowling Green Road and
Terry lived atWayside, Low Street.Terry was most interested in
history and very knowledgeable of all his finds- and if not, sure
to find out from Archaeological Survey at Bury StEdmunds. But the
most wonderful finds we had in Badingham were humanremains in a Low
Street garden. It was first thought to be just one but waslater
identified as being the remains of a man and a women, aged
between25 and 35 years. The female was 5' 1", the male 5' 5". They
were possiblyRoman and could have been from a Roman Cemetery on the
Mound ofBurstonhaugh (the Church).Two thoughts on this is - the
garden where they were found backs onto theChurchyard and there
could possibly be more human remains from Romantimes. Also, while
in some places it is now almost silted up, in times pastthe River
Alde was navigable by boats through Badingham close to LowStreet.
Perhaps one day further investigations will be made in the
Church-yard, just beyond the present day hedge. I hope it happens
in my time.In addition to all this, Badingham folk have made other
finds in theirgardens: fossils around 60,000,000 years old, flint
from the ‘Flake Industry’about 2,500 BC, a Medieval bronze buckle,
C14 door key, an ancientleather shoe, a Puzzle Ring from C18 or
C19, a C14 lions head doorknocker. A bronze key was found at Stone
Cottages in 1950s. Variouspottery shards, including some identified
as Roman and Medieval, havebeen found as well as handmade nails,
clay pipes and stems, clay andglass bottles - dating from a time
when there was no rubbish collection.Being a farming area, some
agricultural implements, of course.So you gardeners keep digging
and looking, you never know what youmight find? Let me know, as I
would be interested to see them.Happy hunting, Sonja

Last Thursday I was invited to a press briefing at Heveningham
Hall - wherenext for the Badingham Echo?! - to hear about the
milestone of £500,000distributed to local charities, community
projects and individuals in need by theHeveningham Hall Country
Fair Trust.
What started in 1996 as a coffee morning to raise funds for
three local churcheshas become a huge affair calling on an army of
200 local volunteers from sixvillages who plan, steward and cater
for the Country Fair and, since that wasforced to be cancelled in
2001 due to Foot and Mouth, the Fireworks and nowa Christmas Market
and Santa ‘Hell Run’.
Funds have been given to local schools, churches, sports clubs,
communitynurses. The emphasis has been on projects that bring life
back to thecommunity and improve facilities.
One of those community projects is the ‘Hall for All’ which is
being planned bythe villages of Heveningham, Huntingfield and
Ubbeston. Both this year’sCountry Fair and a medieval fayre at
Huntingfield are using the Magna Carta’s800th anniversary as their
theme.
Baron William de Huntingfield owned land from Eye across to the
coast anddown to Framlingham. He was one of the 25 rebel barons who
drew up theMagna Carta, the Great Charter of the Liberties which
still forms the basis ofconstitutional law across the world.
William’s nephew Roger de Huntingfieldmarried Nichola le Breton at
Badingham in 1278. I’m hoping someone can tellme more about the
Badingham connection.
Heveningham Hall Country Fair with Wings & Wheels11th &
12th July, 10am to 5pm
£12 adults / £35 family ticket / £10 concessions. All proceeds
to charity.
Medieval jousting, falconry displays and medieval village with

Farming CalendarMuch is changing out in the fields. After
waiting for a good soak, to give amuch needed drink and let the
nitrogen through to the roots, the cereals andoilseeds are looking
a lot healthier. Grass is growing lush in the sunshine.Peas and
sugar beet have pushed through, barley is coming into ear and
fieldbeans will soon be in flower. Meanwhile, after so much of the
countryside hasbeen a vivid yellow, the oilseed rape flowers are
about to fall and we’ll bewondering how fat the pods will be this
year.
Farming is so much weather dependent. Not only the clouds that
pass overwithout giving a drop of rain, the strong wind that
prevents spraying againstdisease and the hail that can cause so
much damage close to harvest time,drought in Australia, heavy rain
in North America or bumper crops in theUkraine have a huge effect
on prices. Not to mention Mr Putin’s export bans,politcal unrest in
north Africa and the changing diet of the Chinese people.Enough for
any farmer to reach for a crystal ball or Old Moore’s Almanac !
