From Revd Graham Hedger

Fleet of foot, rapidly adapting to changing situations, not standing still. Not perhaps words that we usually apply to the church. Yet, this was the picture of the early church. It sprang from a small group of people who had been with Jesus. On the Day of Pentecost, the church exploded into the life of Jerusalem, and in an age that lacked the mass communications of today, rapidly spread throughout the known world.

Pentecost falls on 9th June. It marks the birth of the church. We might reflect on how the church has changed and evolved from a small band of people to a worldwide grouping. Even in the early days the church was made up of people from different backgrounds, cultures and nationalities who worshipped in different ways. This diversity continues today, and the fastest growing and most dynamic churches are to be found in continents such as Africa and South America.

The early church had a breadth of ministers. Sadly, over time some of that emphasis was lost. However, in recent years the churches of different denominations and traditions have rediscovered the importance of the ministry of all believers. This month we will celebrate the commissioning and re-commissioning of Elders. People who are called by God to share in the leadership, worship and pastoral care of our congregations.

At our benefice service in July, the Revd Canon Dave Gardner, Diocesan Director of Mission and Ministry, will be with us as we celebrate our plans under ’Growing in God’. Over past centuries in the Church of England we have talked about evolution rather than revolution. In recent years even pace of evolution has stepped up because the rate of change in society has also become faster.

The central message of a crucified and risen Saviour has not changed. How we worship, minister and meet the needs of those around us has, and will contin-ue to change. Pentecost reminds us that it is God who calls, equips and ena-bles us to walk the path that Jesus calls us to follow.

Church Matters ………..

May Fair

A huge thank you to all the people who worked so hard to make the May Fair such a success. And thank you to all the people who came and supported us. We hope you had a good time and managed to dodge the hail. Our brilliant organisers, Emma and Nancy, made sure we could do almost everything in the Village Hall and we still managed to raise over £1200 for the church in spite of the weather. This is our major fund raising event and we rely on its contribution to cover our costs for the year. Thank you to the band and the Rabble Chorus who had to perform outside and in the church, respectively. The School's art exhibition also had to remain in the church to stay dry.

COSMIC Club Sorry, but there will be no COSMIC Club in June, July or August.

Orebeck Benefice Services

The June benefice service will be at Marlesford on Sunday 2nd June at 10 am (Holy Communion with choir). This service will include the commissioning of Carol Cooke as a Lay Elder and the re-commissioning of all the other Lay Elders in the benefice. Do come and support us all. Because there is a fifth Sunday in June, there will be a benefice service at Easton on 30th June. On 7th July the benefice communion service will be at Parham at 10 am.

Wedding

There is a wedding in our church on Saturday 8th June.

Discussion Group The next meeting will be on Wednesday 5th June at Bickley, Harriers Walk. We shall be discussing what we know about Mary Magdalene. The meeting will start with coffee/tea at 10.30 am. New members are always welcome.

Dates for your Diary Taizé We are starting a new venture and there will be a Taizé service in the Village Hall in the afternoon of Sunday 21st July, 18th August, 15th September and 20th October starting at 4pm. This is a quiet, contemplative worship style and we hope it will appeal to you. Pet Benefice Service On Sunday 21st July there will be a Benefice Pet Service at Marlesford. By the kind invitation of Archdeacon Ian and Tracy the venue will be the Archdeaconry Garden and will start at 11.00am. More details next month but all animals will be welcome. + + + + + + Lost property One of the kind volunteers who was moving stuff for the May Fair to and from the church or someone at the Rabble Chorus performance has left a grey striped pull-on hat (no bobble).

JOHN EDWARD NEWSON 29 September 1952—23rd March 2019

Friday 26th April saw an extraordinary and memorable thanksgiving service in the church to honour a real character and friend to many in the village. The church was packed, with so many people wanting to pay tribute to John and share in their memories of him. There was much laughter as well as sadness as his family paid tribute to John. Tributes came from John’s brother, Rich, and Joy’s daughter, Sally, a flavour of which is below.

I am sure everyone has their own personal experience and memory of John where he selflessly helped you purely out of his kind nature. Whether restoring the church bells, making the famous Noose Juice with friends, or just giving advice to loyal friends and family … he was there. He became Father Christmas to many children at the Farm Park, directed the successful Easton Festival and it is fair to say that there are not many houses in Easton that don’t have John’s initials carved some-where. If there was a job you couldn’t do or needed guidance with, John was your ‘go to man’. The list is endless, and he could do all these things because he was such a gifted and talented man. As if to confirm this, in 2006 he won the Suffolk Award for helping the community.

He was a wonderful and supportive partner to Joycie. Johnny and Joycie … they brought so much happiness to each other and brought out each other’s best qualities. They were certainly adventurous and had a fearless approach to life. More importantly they were supportive of each other’s passions. This led to count-less memories being made from motorbiking around the Pyrenees to eating too much space cake in Amsterdam. They saw the world; numerous trips to Thailand, skiing holidays and also adventures close to home, from tandeming around Suffolk to creating wonderful family memories with annual beach hut holidays to South-wold and Felixstowe and more recently being part of a very successful petanque team in Framlingham! There was plenty of hilarious banter between them which usually stemmed from John having to have a word with Joycie about leaving a light on, turning the heating up too much or another parcel arriving from Amazon Prime ... as I am sure most of you know in the politest way possible John didn’t like to pay out on any unnecessary expenses! As a child, John started at the Blue School, joined the Cubs, the Scouts, the church choir and the Air Cadets. He was an A student at school and won an apprenticeship at Ransome and Rapier as a mechanical fitter, winning apprentice of the year.

7

When the Rapier business closed, he got a job with Haymills setting out ground plans for buildings and site work.

John married and moved to Easton and soon became very much part of the community, joining lots of clubs, teams and activities and enjoying village life. He often set local quizzes raising money for charities and loved cricket, table tennis and bowls. He was also Bell Tower Captain at the church for many years. In 2012 he did 1000 miles in 24 hours on his motorbike to raise money for the British Legion. He was awarded a certificate and was a member of the Iron Butt Associa-tion. A tough achievement. He also cycled 100 miles last year for the Suffolk Sun Rise charity. Amazing.

When John and Joy got together, John became a grandfather which he loved. His six grandchildren, Harriet, Hugo, Erin, Charlie, Zachary and Oliver were all privileged to call him Grandad. He enjoyed the simple things in life which he passed on to the grandchildren.

At the service there were many happy memories of John’s wicked sense of humour. Two examples : Noticing at work someone taking his powdered milk at tea break and wanting to find the culprit, he substituted the milk powder with Cadbury’s Smash potato powder, turning the culprit’s coffee into a thick mush! Another time he got up early one morning, cut some plastic discs and placed them on the bowls green heaped with dirt to mimic mole hills. You can imagine the shock on the groundsman’s face when he saw them!

John loved life and will be sorely missed. Our love and sympathy go to Joy and the families.

A Message from Joy and Richard (John’s brother) We would like to thank everyone for their support and kindness to John and Joy during his illness. Coming home from hospital or the hospice and often finding food or flowers on the doorstep was always much appreciated.

We are very pleased to tell you that the donations to St Elizabeth Hospice from the Thanksgiving Service totalled over £1300.

We were so delighted when Easton Farm Park named their new Suffolk Punch foal after John in the name of “Easton General”, which is what they called him at the Farm Park. The families are very honoured and John would have been so pleased.

EASTON & LETHERINGHAM

VILLAGE HALL

Hall Improvement Update

It’s been another busy year for the hall, both in terms of running the hall and planning for improvements, which sees the final phase of the VHMC’s vision to ‘Refurbish and regenerate the 150-year-old hall into a bright, energy efficient and warm environment for people to socialise, meet and take part in a variety of interest groups’.

Our focus over the last couple of years has been to obtain quotes, fundraise and apply for grants for the internal refurbishment of the toilet block area, addressing a number of issues with mould, hard water damage, ventilation, heating and lack of insulation. It was discovered last year that the flat roof was reaching the end of its life and it needed to be replaced before another hard winter. This meant a change in priority or, if possible, rescope the work to complete both aspects of the project, if sufficient funding could be sought alongside funds. With only a very short window of opportunity, last June we applied to Suffolk Coastal District Council’s Community Infrastructure Levy Fund (CIL) for an 80% grant. We were delighted and extremely grateful to hear in late October we were successful in our application, against very stiff competition as such grants are hard to come by. The CIL grant means this latest project can be achieved much sooner and prevent further deterioration and repair costs to the hall.

The grant award then required a business case and three detailed quotes to ensure value for money. Funds were received in April. The toilet block refurbish-ment project comprises two aspects; firstly to install rubber roofing and insulation to the flat roof area, secondly to completely refurbish the gents, ladies and lobby areas focused on energy efficiency.

We are pleased to report the new rubber flat roof and insulation was completed at the beginning of May just before the heavy rain and hail stones arrived! It was discovered the front of the roof had had frost damage and showed signs of water ingress to the joints, so the funding came through in the nick of time. 120mm of insulation has been added under the rubber roof which has a 50-year life expectancy. The second phase for the internal refurbishment works will be completed over the summer break to minimise disruption to hall users.

This project concludes a 9-year focus by the VHMC which has overseen a complete refurbishment of the main hall, damp-proofing, drainage, new toilet block windows, kitchen refurbishment, internal and external decoration, garden landscaping, meeting room space and new tables, chairs and kitchen equipment, which have created a more comfortable and inviting space for hall users. Such improvements have been achieved by many volunteer hours to fundraise, apply for grants and manage projects in addition to the day to day management. Well done and a heartfelt thanks to everyone on the committee over this time, both past and present!

12

The VHMC are Management Trustees of the hall on a voluntary basis, we are responsible for the day to day running of the hall and compliance with the Charities Commission. We ensure the hall is financially self-sufficient, balancing the income from hirers with running costs, unexpected repairs and planned maintenance. The hall is a vital part of our community and its success is down to the efforts of committee members, volunteers, the generosity of grant providers and most importantly the residents and neighbouring villages who hire and attend activities and events. We have a thriving village hall to be proud of, which is testament to a very supportive community. Thank you one and all for all your support.

If you are interested in what’s on at the hall, see the ‘Village View’ page in the mag (thanks Ed!), on village noticeboards or online: search ‘Easton Village Hall Suffolk’ or www.suffolkvillagehalls.co.uk search Easton. If you wish to attend a class or activity, please contact the organisers direct. For hall bookings enquiries, please contact our Bookings Secretary Lorna Edwards at lornaed@hotmail.com or 747970.

NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH

Personal Safety (Part 2) Protect yourself from ATM theft It’s a good idea to scan the area around ATMs before you use them. Be aware of anyone standing close by and always check the machine to see if it’s been tampered with before you use it.

Tell-tale signs of ATM fraud Things to look out for are devices attached to the machine – some are more obvious than others. If you do see something suspicious, contact the police and the bank. Remember, if it doesn’t look or feel right then steer clear and, if possible, go inside the bank where it will be safer. And always keep a regular check on your transactions.

Stay sharp We know it’s not always easy, but we strongly advise you to have eyes in the back of your head when you’re at an ATM. Thieves will try to watch as you key in your PIN or distract you while you’re withdrawing cash. Be vigilant. Cover your PIN and keep an eye on your card at all times. If someone taps you on the shoulder or tries to speak to you, just ignore them. When you have left the ATM, put your card away immediately. Finally, be careful with contactless cards. You can obtain a card holder to prevent your card details from being inadvertently read. We don’t want you to be paranoid, but being aware of your surround-ings and not being distracted makes it harder for people to take advantage and less likely that they’ll try to.

Protect your phone Your mobile is often so much more than a phone. It’s your phone book, internet, email, social media, maps, personal banker, camera, photo library and weather forecaster. That’s why we strongly advise you to read on, to see how you can prevent yourself from being a victim of mobile theft. Don’t leave your phone, iPad, tablet or camera unattended, out of your sight or left on a table – thieves can grab a phone from a table in seconds.

14

Always be aware of your mobile and your whereabouts and act accordingly. And when you’ve finished using it, put it away. Ensure you retain a record of your phone's IMEI number. This is a 15-digit unique number which can be obtained by keying in *#06#. You need this information if the phone is lost or stolen. And don’t keep a note of it on your phone as it defeats the object. Use your device’s security features, apps or PIN locking mechanisms to protect your data and prevent the phone being used if stolen. Immobilise it. Register for free on an accredited mobile phone data-base such as Immobilise. This helps police to identify you as the rightful owner. Track it. Consider installing a tracker app on your smartphone. They’re readily available online. If your mobile’s ever stolen, act promptly. Thanks to the Met Police for this valuable information on staying safe.

FAIR 2019

To everyone involved in the May Fair this year a HUGE THANK YOU. What a fantastic village we live in. Despite the hail storms through-out the day, we still managed to enjoy a truly wonderful May Fair this year thanks to so much help and support by so many in the village and beyond. No matter how big or small your contribution, it made the difference and we all enjoyed a spectacular day. Profit raised for All Saints Church was £1201.54 which is a great amount in such poor weather conditions. Well done everyone.

attendants.

With grateful thanks to the assistance of Ben Reiss, The National Trust for Scotland, I am able to publish in our Parish Magazine some wonder-ful historical photographs of our Cricket Club. These photographs have not been on public display before. They are reproduced under specific Copyright permission and were all taken by the Marchioness of Graham, Lady Mary Douglas-Hamilton in 1912/1913. The Cricket Club was started by her husband, the Marquis of Graham, who provided the ground, the amazing clubhouse and other facilities. It was located in Kettleburgh Road near the corner with Framlingham Road. Included below is an extract from the score card from the annual match on 19

th & 20

Village People Sue Piggott

How long have you lived in Easton?

Twenty-three years Why did you move here?

To be in the countryside having moved from Norfolk. What’s your favourite thing about living here?

Hearing the birds, especially the nightingales, in our trees and skylarks over the fields. What’s your least favourite thing about living here?

Snakes, I can’t help my fear of them. Dog walking at this time of the year can be challenging. I know grass snakes are harmless, but they can be so big! What’s the most interesting job you’ve ever had and why?

Newspaper publishing. Being amongst lively minds, there was never a dull moment. Have you ever lived in another country?

I lived and worked in Switzerland for just over a year. I developed a passion for skiing and my love of the mountains despite scary adventures remains strong. If you could pass any law you would …

The same Good Samaritan law that European countries have in respect of accidents. It is an obligation to stop and help, and an offence not to. My experience is that others will also stop. It seems a good way to encourage people to help one another. Your greatest strength is …

Compassion

Your greatest weakness is …

Coping with injustice Your favourite TV programme is …

The Detectorists, such gentle humour. Your favourite book ever is …

Audacity to Believe by Dr Sheila Cassidy. She was taken hostage and tortured for treating those with a faith, enough to give Pinochet’s Junta of the day their reasons. The impact of this amazingly written book left me in no doubt that man’s inhumanity to man is such an enduring challenge. Your favourite place in the UK (other than Easton!) is ..

North Norfolk, it is where I was born and raised and holds so many lovely memories including my young farmer days! The best day of your life was …
