THE FRONT cover of this issue of Events is Great Cornard Lock and was kindly supplied by River Stour Trust

The lock had become derelict in the 1920s and was subsequently replaced with an automatic weir. The River Stour Trust was responsible for the construction of a new lock adjacent to the site of the original. The addition of the wooden lintels was not structurally necessary but retained the traditional and unique design element of locks on the Stour.

The lock was formally opened in September 1997 and restored passage between Sudbury in Suffolk and Great Henny in Essex. It was the first new lock on the river for over 200 years and the first completed Millennium project in East Anglia. Visit www.riverstourtrust.org to read more about the River Stour Navigation and the River Stour Trust.

LOSING WEIGHT WITH HEAPS OF SUPPORT!Lynn and Hollie won Mother & Daughter Slimmers of the year after losing a whopping 14 stone between them.

Both Lynn and Hollie were a size 24 when they joined the class and in 18 months they transformed their fitness, their bodies and their frame of minds and they are now both a size12.

The weekly weigh in and optional exercises gave them the encourage-ment they needed, the support you get at Rosemary Conley classes is second to none and we urge anyone that is unhappy with themselves to come along. When you are over weight you sometimes cannot see a way forward, and comfort eating can be a big problem.

We are here to help you change all that so whether you have 7lbs or several stones call 01787 238233

and book into a class at Delphi Social Club today. (CO10 2RR) Tuesday 6pm or Thursday 10am. We explain what to eat and give you diet booklets to follow and give you portion pots to measure food (its so simple!) and a motivational Dvd. Suitable for ALL.

Paying £29 for 5 weeks is the cheapest way. ONLY WITH THIS ADVERT. Saving £35 membership. Normally £6.20 a week. Come to class and with our help give yourself a slimmer, healthier and happier future.
