Derek Buttle

I'm very sad to report the death after a long illness of long time Needham resident, Derek Buttle.  There will be an obituary in the next issue of the Link which will be out in January.  Derek left his body to medical science so there won't be a funeral but there will be a memorial service for him in the spring. Details to follow.

A great success

The inaugural Needham Village Christmas Party held at the Village Hall on Saturday 16 December was a great success.  There was a children's entertainer, the Ipswich Hospital Brass Band, delicious food and drink and, of course, a visit from Father Christmas.   Thank you to the committee for organising the event and also to the people who helped to make it such fun.


Christmas Party

From a satisfied 'customer'!:

"Can you please pass on our thanks to all the hard-working Friends and Supporters of the Village Hall, who made yesterday's Christmas party such a great success.
It was good to see that the event was really well-attended.  We thought that the format for this year was "spot on" with both adults and children taking part, rather than adults only as in previous years.  Everything worked beautifully - the lay-out of the tables and chairs, the children's entertainment in the annexe, the brass band was a nice touch and last, but certainly not least, was the excellent food - as a vegetarian, it was really nice to be served with a delicious vegetable lasagne!"
