WILBY SCHOOL CHRISTMAS FAYRE

Suffolk Historic Churches Cycle Ride

Many thanks to the Roughton family from Wilby who cycled around the churches in

September. Half of the money raised went to the Suffolk Historic Churches Trust and our

church received the other half which amounted to £113.50. We are most grateful to them

for doing this again.

Royal British Legion Poppy Appeal

The amount raised from house to house collections in Wilby this year came to £415.25. The

church collection at our Remembrance Sunday service also was given to the Poppy Appeal

and this came to £161.88. Grateful thanks should be expressed to Priscilla Williamson and

Celia Woollatt who once again went round the village to do the collection.

Christmas Services

Our Carol Service by Candlelight is on Sunday December 20th at 6.30pm. As usual we

will be having mulled wine and mince pies after the service. On Christmas Day our service

will be at 9.30am and will be a Family Service with Holy Communion.

Saturday, 5th December

11.30am - 2.00pm

BBQ, refreshments, games, tombolas,

crafts, stall, Santa's grotto and more.

If anyone is interesting in having a stall,

please contact the school on 01379 384708

ST MARY’S CHURCH, WILBY

Christmas Trees at Town Farm I am pleased to say that we raised a total of £60 last December for St Mary’s Wilby,

St Lawrence’s Brundish and All Saints Stradbroke Churches from folks who came to see

us at Town Farm for their Christmas Trees.

Trees grown here will be available again this year, a selection will be freshly cut for you

to choose from and delivered to your door if you wish.

I am aiming to be here for folks to come and choose on Saturday 5th and

Saturday 12th December but please telephone first to make sure we are here.

Many thanks to all and best wishes for the festive season.

NEWS FROM WILBY SCHOOL

The term is whizzing through and the children have been very busy with lots of activities.

The youngest children have been studying space, and have had a fantastic time building

rockets, space suits, UFO’s and doing some amazing writing associated with this topic.

At the older end of the school Beech Class have been studying the work of William

Shakespeare and are in the midst of rehearsing a play which celebrates this. There are

certainly some budding thespians in the class! Beech Class also had another chance to

hone their performance skills after being invited to attend and perform at “The Big Sing”

event at Snape Maltings this month.

Willow Class have been studying the Anglo-Saxons and had a very enjoyable day visiting

the Anglo-Saxon village at North Stow. There was lots to see and learn both in the

museum and exploring the village. The children also found time for some very enjoyable

and enthusiastic re-enactments of the Beowulf legend! Willow Class is also continuing to

investigate the natural habitat within their science lessons and put learning into practice

during their visit to Framlingham Mere.

Several events are coming up at School in the very near future to which you are warmly

invited. On Saturday, 5th December, 11.30am- 2pm, the School is hosting its annual

Christmas Fayre. Lots of Christmas goodies are available to buy as well as various

tombolas, lucky dip stalls and the Christmas Draw. Father Christmas has also promised to

pop in so here’s hoping everyone has been on their best behaviour!

If you would like to find out more about what goes on at Wilby Primary School why not

pop along to the School’s open morning on Tuesday, 8th December, 9.00 – 12.00. You

will have the chance to see the school in action as well as chat to teachers, support staff

and other parents about the school.

On Friday, 18th December the School is having its Christmas Service at St Mary’s

Church, Wilby, at 1.30. This is followed by tea and mince pies in the School Hall and you

are very welcome to join us for part or all of the afternoon’s Christmas celebrations.

The Thursday morning “Tea and Toys” group for children between 0-5 years old

and their parents continues to run during term times.

No need to book, just turn up –the team would love to see you.

Please note the group now starts at the slightly later time of 9.30am.

If you have any queries regarding the School please contact the Headteacher,

Mrs Coleman, on 01379 384708 for more information.

NEWS FROM WILBY PARISH COUNCIL

December 2015

The Parish Council met on Wednesday 4 November 2015. A summary of the matters

discussed is given below.

Locality Budget Grant Our District Councillor, Julie Flatman, has secured a grant of £400 for Wilby from her Locality

Budget. The Parish Council is seeking to put this grant towards local improvements of benefit to the

whole community.

Planning Applications Council supported planning applications for a change of use of land and buildings from agricultural

to residential use within the curtilage and for internal alterations at Church Farm., London City Road.

Consideration of an application for an anaerobic digester at Barley Brigg Farm, Stradbroke would be

the subject of a separately convened meeting.

Village Survey 130 survey forms were returned of the 226 issued. These are now being analysed and the findings

collated to give us a picture of the village and the views of its residents. Arrangements are being made

to hold a public meeting in February 2016 to announce and discuss the results and to enable the Coun-

cil, the Church, the School and the Village Hall to indicate how they intend responding to the survey

findings.

Defibrillator The Council agreed to enter into a contract with the Community Heartbeat Trust to provide a defibril-

lator in the telephone box and associated services, subject to confirmation that funding for the project

would be provided from the Rix Petroleum Community Fund. A number of volunteers have come

forward to take part in awareness and the necessary first aid training so as to be available to operate

the defibrillator in an emergency. Preferably everyone in the village should have some knowledge of

how to use the defibrillator. To this end plans are in hand to hold short illustrated awareness sessions

whenever significant numbers of the community are gathered together at public events.

Broadband A public meeting arranged by our County Councillor is to be held on Thursday 3 December 2015 at

a time and location to be announced to receive a briefing on the superfast broadband programme and

to enable a discussion thereafter. Details of this meeting when known will be published on the Parish

noticeboard and website and also circulated to those on the e-mail register.

Speed Restriction – London City Road

Our County Councillor, Guy McGregor, has advised that the proposal to have a speed restriction on

parts of London City Road is to be considered by the Speed Panel in December 2015, this being the

next stage in the process.

E-mail register

The e-mail register will now be activated by the Parish Clerk and will be used for example to

distribute this notice of Council proceedings and other information of community interest.

Council vacancies There remain two vacancies on the Council which we are anxious to fill both to ensure that we

always legally have sufficient councillors present to conduct our business but also to make the

Council more fully representative of the community it serves. If you would like to serve on the

Council or wish to know more about it please contact the Chairman (Ian Williamson – 01379

388034) or the Clerk (Julie Collett - 01986 798258) for further information. Next meeting The next regular meeting of the Parish Council will be held in the Village Hall at 7.30 pm on

Wednesday, 6 January 2016. Everyone is welcome to attend.

NEWS FROM WILBY CORONATION HALL Charity Number: 30483959

“Striving for something for everyone”

My thanks go out to the committee members and Sheila (Mutimer) for giving up their time on

the 28th. October (in between showers) to plant daffodil bulbs all around the hall.

What a great way for Kenny Mutimer to have spent his birthday!

We look forward to seeing as many of the bulbs emerge as possible.

It is with great sadness that Angela McCann passed away aged 87 on the 11th. November. A

resident of Wilby for over 22 years her many years door to door collecting for both Poppy and

Lifeboat Appeals, regular attendance at hall lunches and delivery of meals on wheels made her

a well known figure in the community. She was a passionate gardener and retired landscape

architect. Anyone needing tips or plant advice would be told “Ask Angela”. Angela was very

appreciative of her good neighbours, friends and carers saying that in later years she felt “very

well propped up by everybody”. We will miss her. Angela’s next of kin would like to thank all

her friends, neighbours and carers for their kindness. They welcome you to attend her funeral

on Friday 4th. December, 1.30pm, Ipswich Crematorium, Seven Hills, Felixstowe Road,

Nacton, IP10 0FG. Family flowers only. Donations for her nominated charity can be made

c/o Rackhams Funeral Services, Diss.

Don’t forget our first RACE NIGHT is on Friday, 4th December. Doors open at 7pm for the

first race at 7.30pm. £1 admission to include race programme.

“Christmas Carols around the piano”

We would like to invite everyone on Friday, 18th December to join us from 8pm. in the hall

for Christmas Carols around the piano. Mince pies, sausage rolls and mulled wine will be

available and the bar will be open as normal. If you haven’t been in the hall yet or for a while,

this could be a great opportunity to meet up with friends, old and new.

Wilby Village Hall Committee members would like to take this opportunity to wish you all a

peaceful and Happy Christmas and a prosperous New Year.

Thank you for your continued efforts and support over the last twelve months and we look

forward to a joyous and eventful 2016.

ST LAWRENCE’S CHURCH, BRUNDISH

IMPORTANT! CHANGE OF VENUE

Advent Carol Service by Candlelight

6.30 p.m. Sunday, 6th December at St Ethelbert’s Church, Tannington

Please note that due to the current restoration of the window in the south-east

corner of the nave at Brundish Church, the organ has had to be protected against

potential damage by stone dust and is temporarily unable to be used. Although

there is a smaller organ available to us for normal services, it isn’t suitable for

large choral services like Advent. At short notice, we are most indebted to our

friends at Tannington who have saved the day by allowing our Advent service to

take place at St Ethelbert’s on the date above. Brundish’s organ will be available

again for the big Christmas services. The Chantry Singers and Players will be

there as planned. Director of Music, Michael Spencer has picked some beautiful

pieces which The Chantry Singers have been busy rehearsing. The service will be

led by Rector, David Burrell. The start of Advent is such a mellow time of the

year; the “calm before the storm”, some have called it! The bells of this beautiful

and simple little country church will ring out to welcome everyone from our

benefice. Please do come along and join us.

This promises to be a magical evening.

Carols at The Crown 8 p.m. Wednesday, 16th December at The Crown

Now firmly established on the Brundish social calendar is this very enjoyable

evening at our much-loved old pub. As a community, we are very lucky to have a

place to meet friends and have a meal or a drink together, where many places

have lost theirs. Do come along to join in - you don’t have to be good at singing!

Some lubrication will loosen the vocal chords! Don’t miss a great night out.

A Service of Lessons and Carols for the Eve of Christmas

6.30 p.m. Christmas Eve at St. Lawrence’s Church

This age-old candlelit service is now considered to be a very important part of

most villagers’ Christmas celebrations, relaxing our frazzled souls from the hectic

lead-up to the big day. The Chantry Singers will be out in force and our church

will receive its flock, just as it has for nearly a thousand years, to celebrate the

birth of the Holy Child. Please come and fill our church with the wonderful sing-

ing which is now a trademark of our worship. A very warm and festive welcome

awaits you on this most sacred of nights.

Christmas Midnight Communion 11.30 p.m. Christmas Eve at St. Lawrence’s Church

People from all over the benefice will unite in Brundish to celebrate the first

Communion of Christmas, conducted by our Rector, Reverend David Burrell.

The Chantry Singers will be there along with Director of Music, Michael

Spencer. This is an important and uplifting service and whether you are a

communicant or not, you are most welcome to join us.

Brundish Christmas Fair 2015

2 p.m. Saturday, 28th November at Brundish Village Hall.

DON’T MISS IT

It’s nearly that time again! A flyer asking you all for any donations of home

produce, cakes, mince pies and raffle/tombola prizes will be distributed around

the village sometime in November. Please do what you can as the fair’s success

depends upon your much appreciated generosity and attendance. All the

traditional stalls and games will be there wrapped up in that special festive

atmosphere for which Brundish is famous. See you there!

Please do get in touch with either Sandra Apps or David Mulrenan if you

would be prepared to put a few hours aside.

We do hope you can. Thank you.

Brundish Film Programme – Winter 2015/16

Many thanks to the 21 stalwarts who supported the showing in November

of the very moving film Still Alice.

In December we have a complete change of mood as we present on

Thursday, 10 December The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, a further

chapter in the post colonial romp as Sonny Kapoor seeks to expand his hotel

empire whilst keeping his fianceé and his ex-pat residents happy.

Two new arrivals in the form of Richard Gere and Tamsin Greig add further

confusion and delight to the mix. As usual we will be marking the Christmas

season with mulled wine and mince pies as an alternative to our usual fare

(which will remain available).

Do come and join what is always the highlight of our film season and attracts a

capacity crowd. To reserve your place call Priscilla Williamson on

01379 388034 or email [email protected].

We are currently negotiating the film programme for February to May next year

but hope that it will include Suffragette, The Lady in the Van and Spectre.

Room at the inn?

Small charity HOST is seeking friendly people who would like to learn more

about other countries and cultures and share their home life with adult

international students at UK universities.

Young adults from many countries would love to have a short homely break and

discover the real life of this country.

Host Kit Millington-Hore wrote:

“Meeting students from around the world is hugely fulfilling and satisfying.

Watching their pleasure as you introduce them to our ways of living,

particularly over Christmas, is extremely rewarding.”

Visits can be for a day, weekend, or four days at Christmas.

Offering a Christmas invitation to someone who would otherwise be alone on a

University campus can make a big difference.

Invitations are urgently needed from volunteer hosts, no matter their age, or how

far they live from a university.

To find out more, or to be put in touch with your local organiser, please visit

www.hostuk.org or call 020 7739 6292.

FITNESS AND WELL-BEING

Thursday, 21st January at 7.00 for 7.30pm

The Community Heartbeat Trust will be

demonstrating the use of defibrillators

and explaining how the equipment works

and its benefits to the community in

saving precious minutes in the treatment

of sudden cardiac arrest at

BRUNDISH VILLAGE HALL usual “light refreshments” will be available!

The more people that know how to use the portable

defibrillator installed in our community, the more

chance there is of saving the life of a victim of

Sudden Cardiac Arrest

Everybody is welcome and no special skills are required, just your

willingness to play an important role in the event of a medical emergency

Work on the Village Green

You may have seen the signs up at the entrances to the village green

asking for it not to be used for a while.

This is to keep it safe during some much needed repairs

to the children’s play area and to the gates

which have become dilapidated.

The work is expensive and grants have been obtained to finance

completion which is expected around the end of November.

The Parish Council apologise for the inconvenience,

especially to our young ones.
