From the Editor

The Village Hall committee is to be congratulated on another really successful barbecue on Sunday 3 August.  There was an very good turnout and a great feeling of community. The sun shone all day; the food, entertainment & company were  excellent - what more could we ask for?


On a personal note, I should like to thank all those in the village who sponsored me on my Pink Ladies Tractor Road Run on Sunday 6 July.  Unfortunately,   the sun did not shine but that did not deter a great many people from lining the route in the rain. A special mention of Del & Celia Snaith who were at the start and finish of the run and even popped up at lunchtime! From friends, family and people of Needham I have raised an amazing £735 with a further £160 from Gift Aid - thank you for your generosity.

The Red Lion coffee mornings continue to be very well attended.  In fact, I have heard that a local hairdresser has complained that all her clients are cancelling their Tuesday appointments in order to attend the coffee mornings! The money raised is partly going towards a defibrillator for the village. Please take time to read the enclosed leaflet which explains the importance of having easy access to a defibrillator in the village.  For more information contact John Morrish through the Needham Link email address (needhamlink@gmail.com ) 

On behalf of all readers of The Link I should like to wish Harold Jefferson a very speedy recovery from the effects of his car accident.  Best wishes to him and to Jean Youell who was also hurt in the accident.

Farewell to Sue Elsden of White House Farm.  Sue will be leaving the village in September but we hope she’ll visit often. We wish her lots of luck in the future. White House Farm eggs are now available for sale in the Red Lion car park.

Space permitting, I will publish your letters or contributions to the Link - they would be most welcome. Please email them to needhamlink@gmail.com or pop them through my letter box at Mill Farm Cottage.

Helen
