From the Editor
June is going to be an exciting month as the Village Hall committee is organising a special event to celebrate the 90th birthday of the Queen. I’m sure this event will be every bit as enjoyable and memorable as the tea party held in 2012 to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. This is to be a free event so the Committee is hoping there will be a good turnout for Needham’s celebration. There are details elsewhere in the Link and there will be an invitation delivered to every household before the event.
Also, included in this edition is a questionnaire about the proposed Playpark for Needham. A committee has been formed but it is important to engage with all the residents of the village as this is an amenity for the whole village. Unfortunately, there isn’t space to print the full statement from the committee but it can be read on www.needhamlink.co.uk
On a personal note, I shall be taking part in the Pink Ladies’ Tractor Road Run again on Sunday 3 July. As you know this annual event is in aid of Cancer Research UK which is a cause dear to many of you. Without the work done by Cancer Research UK there would not be so many people who have survived this dreadful disease that strikes in so many forms. I would be really grateful if you could sponsor me again by visiting my JustGiving page at https://www.justgiving.com/Helen-Major4
Once again, if you would like to contribute any articles to the Needham Link please either drop them through my letter box at Mill Farm Cottage or email needhamlink@gmail.com
