From the Editor

Summer has arrived in Needham and the BBQ season is upon us.  Please keep Sunday 3 August free.  Needham Village BBQ is always a really good day with excellent food and entertainment and this year will be no exception.

Before then I shall be taking part in the 11th Pink Ladies’ Tractor Run on Sunday 6 July.  This is a charity event with funds raised going to Cancer Research UK which is a really deserving charity which receives no government funding for its research and its life-saving work depends on events like this.
If you would like to sponsor me please visit my fund raising page at www.justgiving.com/Helen-Major1 If you can’t donate online I can be contacted at Mill Farm Cottage in Mill Lane.
Go and watch the tractors (there will be over 140 this year) drive through Harleston - it’s an amazing sight.  A big thank you to all who have donated so far.

Congratulations to John & Pauline Seaman of Brook Lane who this year celebrate their Golden Wedding Anniversary.

We are sad to report the deaths of Vivien Wythe & Geoffrey Martin.

If you would like to contribute an article or a letter to the Needham Link please email it to needhamlink@gmail.com or pop it through my letter box at Mill Farm Cottage. I’d love to hear from you.

Don’t forget we are online at www.needhamlink.co.uk  If you are in contact with any people who have moved away from Needham tell them how they can keep up with village news.

Geoffrey Martin

Mrs June Martin and family would like to thank villagers for their support through Geoff’s long illness and for the many messages of sympathy they received following his death.
