Somersham Church Notes

On Sunday 7th June there will be a benefice service at Willisham Church at 10 am, when our newly licensed priest-in-charge Rev. Canon Bernard Rose will be conducting the service. On Sunday 14th June we will be joining the Baptist Church for their annual open-air service at 11.30am on the playing field. This will replace our normal 10am family service in the church.

The PCC and all at Somersham Church would like to thank most sincerely everyone who has helped with the extension to the churchyard and its boundary hedging. We would like particularly to say a big thank you to Few Transport, Dan Palmer of Palmer Fencing, Miss Emsden, Stuart Diaper and John Caston and family. We are extremely grateful for all the work they have done and landscaping given, all without charge.

Christian Aid Week took place in May. Thank you to everyone who put something in the envelopes and especially to the volunteers who went to every household in the village to collect them. The total amount collected will be in next month’s Link. If you missed your collector it’s not too late to give a donation – please drop it in to Christine’s Haircare or Griffin Cottage.

At the APCM in April John Gibbons was re-elected as churchwarden and Michael Warren deputy churchwarden. The PCC is very grateful to everyone who helps in the upkeep and running of the church.

Somersham Church Summer Fete will take place on Saturday June 27th on Church Meadow, from 2 till 4pm. All the usual attractions, with plenty of games and stalls, will be there, and this year we will be serving delicious cream teas. We would be very grateful for donations of prizes for the raffle and the tombola,, cakes, plants and produce.

Summer quiz sheets - These should by now be on sale for £1 from Christine’s Haircare, Somersham Garage or Pat Woolhouse.

The PCC thanks everyone who has collected envelopes for the Restoration Fund over many years, and those who have given each month. This has been a valuable addition to funds and we hope that all who have been contributing in this way will continue to do so by dropping in their envelopes to Christine’s Haircare, Griffin Cottage or any PCC member.

Exam success

Piano teacher Mrs Lynne Holton of Somersham has pleasure in announcing the results of her pupils in the Associated Board of the Royal Schools of Music examinations:

In the theory exams: Freya Churm and Anna Haughton both passed Grade 2 with distinction, and Megan Cherry and Yasmin Picton both passed Grade 3 with distinction.

In the practical exams: Freya Churm passed Grade 2 with distinction, Emily Lewis passed Grade 2 with merit, and both Holly Fifield and Danielle Chester passed the Grade 5 exam.

Well done to all pupils and well done to the pupils who took part in the charity concert in March, raising £56 in voluntary donations for the St. Elizabeth Hospice.

Somersham & District Community Association

The AGM and the first general meeting of the year took place on the 26th March. We needed to consult the Constitution before we could start the meetings because so few people attended. Is this a sign that every one is satisfied with progress, a sign that they still think it all belongs to the Parish Council and is their problem, do they have too many other things to do, or do they just not care who supplies local facilities so long as they can use them? Fortunately for the Association those on the Committee were willing to stand again (could we do anything else?) and two of them volunteered to become trustees as well.

We are pleased to say that despite doubts on the part of some, the new pitch has not become waterlogged this winter despite the appalling weather and now, with a dose of spring fertiliser, will last us for a long time to come although there may need to be another stone picking party. Light covers on arena and pitch have been damaged; how do they do it? Repairing these and possibly fitting low energy bulbs and repairing one of the pavilion shutters are going to considerably affect the budget for the next quarter. Fortunately for the Association, the Football Clubs, who strongly support the Sports & Social Club, raise much of the revenue needed. It would be so nice if more of you made use of the Club or hired the pavilion. It is smaller than the village hall but has the advantage that the play areas can be seen from the building if you use it for a children’s event, and it is cosier if you have a small party to entertain.

There have been a couple of changes to the list of elected representatives from the various clubs and associations in the village and I would like to know of any others. This is the time of year when most people try to get themselves out of doing support jobs for clubs or even volunteering to take them on so there are bound to be changes. If your committee has changed please do let me know if you have a new elected spokesperson to represent you at the S&DCA if ever you should want to take part. An elected member gets you full committee membership and voting rights and a chance to change the way things go on if you are not satisfied. We hold business meetings bi-monthly and they are friendly, laid back and over as quickly as possible - not a lot to worry time-conscious busy people. If you want to hire the pavilion for small groups or parties, to nominate a representative to the S&DCA, to simply promote your own idea of a good community activity, or help in any way please contact Mike Shelmerdine on 01473 831661.

Somersham Football Club

Last season saw us finish sixth in our first season of league football quite some achievement really, all the boys re signed for the new season and we’ve set our sites on a top 3 or 4 finish.

The new goals arrived early October and Radio Suffolk’s James Hazell officially opened the new pitch before another large gathering of supporters.

The boys are starting to find their feet on their new pitch but the majority still have another gear to go.
Results
07/09/08 Woodland Colts H Won 10 - 0
14/09/08 Barons Youth A Won 2 - 1
21/09/08 Chantry Grasshoppers H Won 4 - 2
28/09/08 Cornard Cynamos A Draw 1 – 1
19/10/08 Stowupland Falcons H Won 2 – 1
02/11/08 Whitton Sports Centre H Won 3 - 0

As I write we sit in second place with the meanest defence in the league but with some tough fixtures on the horizon our feet are firmly on the ground.
Thanks for all the support and best wishes for Christmas and the New Year from all at Somersham Youth. Martin

Forthcoming Parish Council Meetings

Wednesday 3rd June 2009
Wednesday 1st July 2009
Wednesday 2nd September 2009
(No meeting in August)

All meetings commence at 7.30pm in the Village Hall and the press and public are welcome to attend.

Annual Parish Council Meeting
At the Annual Meeting of the Parish Council the following officers were elected for the year 2009/10:-

Chairman - Chris Mills Tel: 831667
Vice Chairman - Richard Browne Tel: 831321
SALC representative - Penny Pearson Tel: 831436

- Barbara Tottle Tel: 830867

Barbara Tottle was co-opted to the parish council at the meeting. Barbara has expertise in litter enforcement and dog fouling issues. Councillors welcomed her to the council and are sure she will make a valuable contribution to the village.

Thanks were recorded to the hard work undertaken by Richard Browne in his role as Chairman of the parish council for the past 2 years.

Please contact any of the above councillors if you have any information or concerns.

Somersham Town Land Charity
The parish council approved the appointment of Gavin Hodge, Chris Mills and Graham Amiss as Trustees of the Somersham Town Land Charity for the period 2009 – 2012.

Chapel Lane junction/Pump House Bend on Main Road
The parish council was very appreciative of the residents who had taken the time to give their opinions of traffic concerns on Main Road and the presence of the vehicle activated speed signs. Unfortunately these signs were only in situ for a trial period, but all those who responded considered they were effective. The parish council is now in communication with the county council to see if a more permanent solution can be found at these hazardous locations.

Donation to Parochial Church Council
Councillors approved a donation of £500 again this year to the Parochial Church Council as a contribution towards the cost of churchyard maintenance.

Audit of Parish Council Accounts 2008/9
The accounts of the parish council are currently available for inspection until the 12th June. A notice outlining the arrangements for inspection is on display on the notice board. Please contact the Clerk if you have any queries.

Wattisham Open Day
This year marks the 70th Anniversary of Wattisham Airfield as an operational military flying station and in celebration of this anniversary events are being planned for Saturday 11th and Sunday 12th July 2009. Some of the events will be private, aimed only at veterans/Civic leaders/service personnel and their families. However, on the afternoon of Saturday 11th July the station is planning an event for neighbouring communities which will comprise static and flying displays, airfield tours, historical presentations and a variety of stalls and supporting attractions. Somersham is one of the parishes which will be issued with tickets for this event which will not be open to the general public. There will be no admission charge. More details on timing etc. for the event is currently awaited, but it is envisaged that each ticket will permit a car or a family of 4 to enter the base. Names of attendees will be required.
Unfortunately this is all the information available at the time of writing, but as more details become available they will be posted on the notice board.
If anyone has any historical information on the airfield please contact the Clerk who can put you in touch with the Wattisham Museum.

Dog Fouling
Unfortunately despite previous appeals in this publication the parish council is still receiving complaints regarding dog fouling on the public footpaths and rights of way around the village. It is an offence not clean up after your dog on public footpaths and you could be liable to a hefty fine. It is sad fact that a minority are spoiling our village for the majority, a situation which must not continue. In future the footpaths will be monitored and any dog owners who do not clean up after their dogs will be reported to the relevant authority to ensure that Somersham is a clean and healthy place to live.

SOMERSHAM CARPET BOWLS CLUB

April is the dividing month between the ending of the Winter league and the starting of the Summer session; and with no matches to be played members wind down to just club nights and in house competitions. Within this time span a date in April is also set aside - annually – with Offton & Willisham to bowl for the Paul Chapman Cup ... a long standing and enjoyable competition between our two villages.

This year the first Saturday of the month was booked for this local derby between both clubs, and as reported in the April Link Offton & Willisham have already come up with the match account from their perspective - and a very fair appraisal it was!
Having won the cup last year Somersham had great hopes of retaining the silverware again but this was not to be! After the first few games it was evident that Offton & Willisham sights were set as they bowled more consistently and at the out-set appeared determined to relieve us of the trophy.

Starting with some promise and holding steady after the first ‘fours’, Somersham were unable to make any headway thereafter and were edged out on many results. As the afternoon progressed Somersham were powerless to reverse a declining situation and gradually fell even further behind by the tea interval.

At the conclusion of the match Offton & Willisham ran out worthy and deserving winners by 23 games to 13, including a good surplus of shots. Intended as friendly rivalry between neighbouring villages the whole afternoon - as usual - was enjoyed by all; and everything was rounded off with a tasty fish and chip meal.

Our congratulations to the winners but we shall be back with a vengeance next year!

Next on the calendar it was club members competing in the first in house competition – the Fred Johnson Cup. With all members giving of their best in singles play some very close games ensued’ and after all knock out were completed it was left to John Prentice and Bill King to contest the final. Played over 7 ends it was John who took the result. So it’s well done to John and another trophy for his cabinet.

The second of our in-club competitions bowled on a regular club night towards the end of the month was the John and Rosemary Shield. With fewer members able to attend it was again a reduced turn-out this year. However this situation was satisfactorily solved with the deployment of byes; and the pairings - randomly drawn - produced a few bowling upsets. A competitive evening was concluded by a very close final and it was Alan Thompson and Bill King who soaked up the pressure to see off all-comers - beating Joyce Jones and Rosemary Southgate - to win the Shield. ‘Well done to both’.

We still look to increase membership of our ‘carpets’ group, and were pleased to recently welcome Peter Rawlings into the club. So ... just like him ... why not take the plunge and come along to the Village Hall one Tuesday evening and try your hand at carpet bowls. It’s easy to pick up and you will find everyone very friendly.

May sees the start of the Summer league so regular match reports can be expected through the summer months to give account of our results progress through to September.

Hi this is Anna and Grace and we are reporting for The Link newsletter. We are representing Somersham Primary School. We are writing this on a sunny but cold morning break time!!! First of all we are going to talk about our wonderful school. Our school is full of friendly people and has lots of kind members of staff.

On Friday the 13th March the whole school dressed up for Comic Relief and had a circus performance. Each class got to make up an astonishing performance to show the whole school. The Squirrels (the youngest class) had to dance, sing and jump through the hoop of fire (a little hoop!) Ferrets, the middle class had to sing, walk on stilts and do a tightrope walk! Hawks the oldest class had to use the circus plates, juggling balls and lots more!

Our school gets invited to lots of sporting events and clubs such as going to Claydon High School, playing on space hoppers, bean bags on heads and lots of more fun and games! Ferrets say that all the people in the school are really friendly. The Hawks got invited to the netball and football tournaments at Claydon High School. The results were: netballers came 3rd and footballers came 1st! We were very lucky as all the teams played very well! Class Ferrets have been to a multisports afternoon at Claydon High and had a fun filled time playing lots of different sports.

Hawks Class have been thinking about what to do when Emily Gravett (author/illustrator and winner of the Kate Greenaway Award) comes to visit us in May to open our brand new library. As some of you know, a few of the Hawks have already met her in London when they went to interview her ?.

The clarinet club have also been very busy practising for the concert on Thursday 2nd of April 2009. First of all the beginners (the group that need a bit more practice) will start the concert with a tune called ‘Together and Alone.’ The beginners are Jack, Chloe, Cameron, Alex and Grace. The improvers are second to do the concert so they can show the audience what the beginners will become in a few months! The improvers are Kieron, Will, Natasha and Anna.

The Squirrels class have found a mysterious bean that they have been growing in soil and is protected by a magical shield that only four people can touch! Squirrels were very sad to see Miss Shackleton, a student teacher, leave as she had been teaching Squirrels for a few weeks ?. Anyway that’s all for now. Look out for the next Somersham School article in the June Link Newsletter.

This will benefit all of the children for use at playtime and lunchtime breaks, and even parents who wait for their children at after-school sports clubs. There aren’t very many of the current picnic benches and they are now past their best. The money raised from the archive film evening has given us a good head-start.

Somersham Cycle Speedway Club

Somersham Cycle Speedway Club

The season is now underway and with Somersham not competing in any league racing this season senior riders Gary Brown and Steve Copping have both signed for Kesgrave on secondary licence, which means that they can ride in any competition for Kesgrave except for the following events:
British Individual Championship which is being staged in the Midlands this year (both riders are expected to enter), British Open Club Championship (which Somersham are possibly entering as it is being staged by the Norwich club).

Both Gary and Steve have featured in track action which started on March 21st with Gary featuring in the opening round of Kesgrave's Club 4’s where 3 of the teams were named after former teams which used to compete. The final positions were Melton Meteors, Kesgrave Panthers, Foxhall Pirates, Woodbridge Wildcats.

The following day saw Kesgrave travel to Great Blakenham for 2 matches. The first match was a Norfolk & Suffolk League match which Kesgrave lost 54-98, Gary scoring 15. The South-East Division 2 match was next and Kesgrave avenged the earlier defeat by winning 71-58, Gary scoring 14+3.

1 week later it was the opening round of the 2009 South-East Grand Prix series at Ipswich where Gary was completely unbeaten in the Veterans category, winning all his qualifying races as well as the final.

Next up for Gary was a trip to Hethersett with the Kesgrave team for a Norfolk & Suff olk league match, followed by a South-East Division 2 match and both matches saw defeat for Kesgrave. The Norfolk & Suffolk league match saw Kesgrave go down 65-114 with Gary scoring 17 points then adding a further 15+1 in the SE2 match which Hethersett won 84-75

April 18th saw round 2 of Kesgrave's Club 4TT  which saw a scoreline of Melton Meteors 64, Foxhall Pirates 48, Kesgrave Panthers 45,Woodbridge Wildcats 42. For the Kesgrave team Gary scored 14 points and for the Foxhall team Steve scored 4 points, making his comeback after 7 weeks out with a leg infection.

2 weeks later at Kesgrave it was round 2 of their Club Championship and Gary and Steve both rode in the senior section. Steve scored 6 points but Gary's score wasn't known by this scribe at the time of writing. I will update this at a later stage.

There will be track action at Somersham in 2009 with the following events:

June 3 19:00 Suffolk U9/U11 GP*
June 20 Deborah Mittell Memorial Meeting-a pairs event where Steve and Gary will represent Somersham

SOMERSHAM TENNIS
First let me thank everyone who supports the tennis courts in the village, by buying the wild bird food which is on sale at Somersham Garage or 16 Princes Gardens.
This helps enormously with the expense of the courts. Yes, we have to pay for our own insurance, grass cutting association fees and maintenance. We receive no funding from the Parish Council nor from the Community Association for the upkeep of the courts.
Our main fundraiser will again be the ploughman’s lunch in September. (Watch out for the date – to be confirmed later).
These courts are for the community. They are open by 9 o’clock in the morning and, apart from the club sessions, anyone can playa t any time.
Penny Pearson 831436

Tennis Clubs

Due to unforeseen circumstances, the start date for all the clubs was delayed. We are now back on track. Coaches are used for both the Monday Boys Club and the Thursday Junior Club.
These sessions have been free of charge up till now but with the additional expenses we have recently had and the cost of coaches, after half term we will have to charge £2.00 per session.
Mondays 4.30-6.30 for the over ten year old boys, coaching with James.
Tuesdays and Thursdays 7 o’clock onwards for adults. Any adult can just turn up, with or without a racquet, with or without a partner. These are mix and match sessions. Cost £2.00
Thursdays 5 o’clock till 6 o’clock, Junior sessions with coaching by Jo Hughs.
As these courts are for the community, at all other times anyone can play, subject to the courts being available.
