Congratulation belatedly to Denis Tavener on the occasion of his 85th birthday on March 25th and thank you Denis for all the hard work you put in for the village. There is a report of a chat our Features Editor had with Denis in this edition of the Link. And from one long term resident to a newcomer - I’m very grateful to Genevieve Bridgeman for her article.
A very warm welcome to Andrew & Debbie who have recently moved into what was Harry Peters’ house on the High Road
It can’t have escaped anyone’s notice that 2014 is the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War. Forty-five men from Needham served in the First Great War. There is a plaque in St Peter’s Church in memory of the twelve men who gave their lives. Of those who survived three won special honour for ‘heroic service’. I should be really interested if you are related to or know anyone who knows of any of the forty-five men.

And finally, thank you to our Art Editor for his latest cover for the Link. Summer must be here as I saw four swallows over Priory Farm airfield on 15 April.

Letters to the Editor
It was exciting to see comments from Catherine (Née Foulkes) in the last edition of The Link. I remember her family - her father, Robert, lives in Mexico and keeps in touch. Whilst in the British Army Bob was its youngest Captain. Bob’s wife, Hazel, now sadly demised, was attractive and charming. She had been a model when younger. Catherine’s sister, Lydia, lives in London.
Just a few memories.

It’s very good to see that the two new dog waste bins provided by the Parish Council are being used. Hopefully this will reduce the amount of dog poo on pavements and make walking for non dog owners and dog owners alike more pleasant.
