Most of us have experienced something that we call stress at some stage of our lives if not on a constant basis. In general, the term “I’m stressed” crops up when we feel overwhelmed or unable to cope; when there is too much to do, or when we feel threatened emotionally or physically. But what can we do about stress? How can we keep our cool in what sometimes seems to be an increasingly fast paced and stressful world?

1. Remember the difference between external pressure and internal stressIt’s important to understand that there is a big difference between external pressure and internal stress. Internal stress, that overwhelming or tense feeling that we experience when we say we are stressed, is our response to external pressure. Sometimes we are unable to do anything about the external pressure and we feel helpless. We can however learn to manage our response to external pressure and therefore looks towards reducing our own internal stress. Looking at things from this perspective is an excellent start to managing your own stress levels.

2. Reconnect with natureResearch clearly shows that time spent outside in “green spaces” improves our mood and reduces stress. The benefits are reported to be even higher if the space incorporates water, such as a river, lake or the ocean. Even looking at a picture of a forest for 10 minutes rather than gazing at a computer, has some positive effect. So switch off your television or computer, turn off your mobile phone, and give your

brain some space from electronics by connecting with the great outdoors. At the very least, this is a great way to create some space from external pressures, allowing us time to gain perspective and choose our responses calmly.

3. Accept that you are not perfectIn today’s society a great deal of stress is born by everyone trying to reach perfection. The perfect romance, leading to the perfect family, in the perfect home, with the perfect lawns and perfect furnishings, all supplied by working in the perfect job, where everyone get’s along perfectly and everything works perfectly. Okay, so that’s extreme, but you get the picture. Perfection doesn’t exist, so give yourself a break, lighten up and embrace the beauty of imperfection. It’s okay to get things wrong, it’s okay to be unhappy sometimes, and it’s okay to admit you need support. In fact, it’s more than okay, it’s human!

Being pregnant is a very special time for most women and it can be exciting looking forward to holding your little baby in your arms. You will be impatient to meet him or her for the first time. However, the reality is that once your baby arrives your whole world is turned upside down never to be the same again – this can be a wonderful experience, yet also scary and can lead to feeling somewhat out of your depth. The first year of your baby’s life can be amazing and beautiful, full of rich new experiences. Looking after a baby is hard physical and emotional work. There are challenges to overcome such as exhaustion, the changes in your body, being at home with the baby instead of your place of work and the complete change of your life style which can sometimes feel overwhelming.However, it doesn’t have to ‘feel’ hard and hard doesn’t need to have a negative association, the rewards are great and the sense of purpose and achievement can be enormously fulfilling – it can be the magical event that you foresaw. It’s all about how you look at your experience and

consequently how it makes you feel. In my experience one of the main things new mum’s struggle with is their feelings following the birth of their baby. Establishing a more relaxed and optimistic mindset beforehand can ensure that your thoughts and feelings during birth and afterwards are more positive. If you are able to let go of needing to be in control of what happens every step of the way and accept what has already happened, then once your baby has arrived you can just deal with things as they occur. You will then significantly reduce your stress levels, feel happier within yourself and as a result your baby will too.The expectation of what you think should happen and the kind of mother you think you should be can be a huge pressure to put upon yourself. Acceptance can go a long way to reducing anxiety and bringing peace of mind. Being able to accept that you are not supermum and are doing the best job you can and even accepting help from others can go a long way to relieving some of that pressure. Also, being able to accept your baby as they are can be very freeing. If beforehand we have a list of what we think should happen –

This month we look at the issues faced by new mums Are you a mum-in-training or about to have a baby? Are you starting to feel out of your depth? Do you sometimes wish for your old life back?

my baby will be smiling within a few weeks; she will have lots of hair; will sleep through the night ........ then we may be sorely disappointed and perhaps stressed out, as babies are little individuals just like us and develop at their own unique pace.So how do I overcome the challenges of being a new mum? • Reduceorevenremoveyour

expectations;• Exerciseacceptanceofwhat

is and what you cannot change;

• Bekindtoyourselfbynurturing you as well as your baby;

• Enjoybeingamum.

Give yourself permission to bask in the beauty of the miracle that has happened and bless the gift you have received. If you are wondering how on earth you are going to be able to reduce your stress levels, and feel better about yourself whilst adjusting to caring for your baby

The osteopath’s job is to diagnose and treat faults that occur in the musculoskeletal system, which consists of our bones, joints, muscles and ligaments. Everything we do involves the activity of our musculoskeletal system, the body’s largest system. The other systems in the body are there to nourish, repair, and serve its demands.

Osteopaths assess the condition of this musculoskeletal system looking for areas of weakness, imbalance and excessive strain. Any potential ‘weak points’ will determine how well the body functions and will have an influence on the general health of the whole body. Many conditions and painful symptoms we experience throughout our life, from birth through to old age have the potential to be as a result of some imbalance to our musculoskeletal system.

2. flake in the fish in decent-sized chunks and season. gently mix everything and, using floured hands, shape into 8 cakes. lightly dust with flour, dip in egg and then in breadcrumbs. Chill for at least 30 minutes (important or they will come apart in the pan).

3. Heat 1cm oil in a large frying pan. fry the fish cakes in batches for 3-4 minutes each side or until they are golden, crisp and heated through. Drain on kitchen paper.

Serve with a simple salad, some homemade chips and tartare sauce, delicious!

Once the preserve of dodgy chippies, fish cakes are now smart dinner party fodder

As many families prepare to tighten their belts in the tough economic climate. NCT’s popular Nearly New Sales provide a haven for cash-strapped parents.

The Sales also provide an opportunity to make money from selling baby clothes and equipment families no longer need. Goods must be in excellent condition and sellers will keep 65% of the proceeds from the sale. The rest will be returned to NCT to help fund its vital services.

By visiting their local NCT Nearly New Sale, parents can kit out their kids for less than high street prices or save a fortune on preparing for the arrival of their new baby.

After attending her first Sale, new mum Sarah said: “We were worried about how we would afford everything we needed for our first baby, but we focused on getting a few key items, such as a moses basket , bath and changing table and managed to save loads. It was great fun hunting for the best deals, too!”

The Sales are not exclusively for NCT members, they are open to everyone whether buying, selling or both! On average, parents spend £27.25 at a Sale, which could buy a range of items such as bedding, clothes, a changing station or high chair. With average Sale prices being a third of full price goods on the high street, a family can expect to save around £54.50.

Timothy Todhunter, Branch Fundraising Manager says: “With VAT rising and other benefits being cut, NCT Nearly New Sales are a win-win situation for families. Parents with surplus baby goods can sell them to make some extra cash, while mums and dads-to-be tightening the purse strings can find great bargains while funding NCT’s vital charity work across the UK.”

Last year, more than 200,000 parents attended an NCT Nearly New Sale, raising more than £1 million for the charity. More than 600 Sales were held across the UK, with 50,000 parents selling over 1 million items. In addition, every item bought from an NCT Nearly New Sale is an item which isn’t going to landfill.

Moreton Hall’s Monthly

Nature Watch by Woodland Ways March is a good time to hear

tawny owls on Moreton Hall. They can be heard in the evening or at night, calling from our woods with that well-known tu-whoooo call. This call is the male, trying to attract females and simultaneously warning other males that he lives there and they should leave. The rarely heard tu-whit is the female tawny owl, replying to her male. More often than not, the mole can be heard moving around our woods, even the younger woodss, whilst asserting his territory. Tawny owls nest in hollows in large ivy-covered trees, of which there remain a few in Moreton Hall; although a nest location has not yet been identified the amount of calling indicates that these beautiful chestnut-brown predators must nest somewhere on the estate. They will nest in boxes installed for the purpose, so there may be merit in putting an owl box in a tree in a likely situation.

Tawny owls hunt at dusk but more commonly at night. Their wings are almost silent and this ‘sound-proofing’ allows them to surprise small rodents like mice, voles and even rats. They are also adaptable enough to take small birds and amphibians when food is short. Starlings and grey squirrels are sometimes caught, particularly in urban areas such as ours where other food might be scarce. The long-grass areas at Natterer’s Wood and Woodland Ways Pond are good hunting areas, because there are plenty of bank voles present for the owls to eat. Typically, tawny owls occupy a favourite perch in broadleaf woodlands, from which they drop on to unsuspecting small mammals, such as voles. The inedible remains are regurgitated in the form of a pellet. It is possible to pull a pellet apart, and from the bones work out what that animal had eaten a few hours earlier!

Local News...Over to You

This is part of a letter which I received from a resident, who I think lives on Skyliner Way, I quote “dear Mr Warby, I am writing to express my disgust and frustration with all the dog excrement left on the paths and on the grass verges on the pedestrian paths between Skyliner Way, Abbots Green school and the path running parallel to Primack road. I notice previous appeals to dog walkers seem to have made no difference. In all the places I have lived I have never known it so bad.” There you have it, your area, your estate, most of your children are at risk. Be responsible clear up after your dogs.I have forwarded this letter to the council to get extra dog and litter bins in that area. Thanks to the letter writer whoever you are, we are trying.

At last, work has started on the safety path from the car park near the church. I was asked almost 18 months ago if was possible to have a pathway from the car park because mums were having trouble taking their children to school. Work has started and by the time you read this the pathway will be complete. Hopefully mums will be happier and safer now.

ELECTION YEAR MAY 2011The Borough and Town elections will take place on May 5th.

You can fill it in and get it off at your leisure and most important you wont miss your vote. If you don’t know what to do or where to go, contact me, you have my details.

One trillion pounds. Three understated words which probably don’t actually mean a great deal to most of us. However, the UK National Debt has now surpassed this landmark figure.

First off let me put this figure into context. One trillion is 1 with 12 zeros after it. It makes my monstrous mortgage look positively insignificant. Estimates suggest that if you decided to count out loud to one trillion (and why wouldn’t you!?) it would take over 500,000 years! Practically speaking, if you wanted to take home one trillion grains of sand from your day trip to Walberswick, I hope you checked the rear axle clearance, as it would weigh over 73 tons. Or, in

scientific terms, it takes 62 days for light to travel a trillion miles. In short, the UK’s national debt has become so astronomical that it’s hard to make sense of it anymore.As with any other loan, it is subject to interest charges. In this case a scary £120 million a day… give or take a few quid. As you may have guessed, I’m a bit of a numbers person, but this number is really starting to bug me.

So, what can we do? I for one was all for the head in the sand (all 73 tons of it!) option. But, for reasons that are far too complicated for most of us (including me) to even come close to understanding, apparently we simply cannot afford to do this. However, for all sorts of other equally confusing and migraine inducing reasons it

seems it is equally dangerous to try and pay it off too quickly. A classic lose-lose situation.

Yet here we are. The Coalition has spoken, and we must obey. Half a million public sector jobs will go in a brutal stripping down, no - obliteration, of public services. I’m not massively political and frankly I don’t know what the answer is. But surely this is too much too soon? Public toilets, libraries, new schools… aren’t these all basic facilities any civilised developed country needs?

Still, it’s not all doom and gloom. At least we have the London 2012 to look forward to. I’m sure it will be worth every penny… all 1.2 trillion of them. Hang on; I feel the makings of a cunning plan coming together!

Jenny our President opened with some good news to be shared and some notices of future events. Elizabeth informed us of the Maternal Health event from Public Affairs on 23rd Feb and tickets were available. Our Speaker this month was John Hewson, an experienced gardener of many years who got us thinking about our gardens and the advent of Spring! He illustrated his talk with some photos of his garden and from his trips to Chelsea Flower Show and Wisley and even gave some tips on equipment. Some of us can only aspire to such success! We learned of the old and now banned substances used in gardens – red lead and creosote to name but two! We heard of his work on the naval base in Portsmouth and nearer home in Mildenhall advising service personnel.

We finished off with our usual refreshments and a chat. A lovely evening!

“Getting children involved in composting”

There is nothing like composting to get the children interested and involved in gardening and outdoor activities. Let’s face it, a pile of compost with hundreds of mini beasts will grab the attention of most kids and the method we get to a crumbly, rich brown compost should attract our next generation to understanding the importance of keeping organic waste out of the landfill. It also involves dirt, digging, and water -favourite children’s activities.

One of the easiest ways to teach kids to recycle is through composting. This earth friendly activity is a great way to help kids go green.

If you haven’t already got a compost bin have a discussion as a family about starting one in the

garden. It’s a great way to bond as a family and the decisions can be made democratically.

Decide whether you are going to make your own bin or purchase one? Making composts can be rewarding and educational as well as cost effective if you salvage wood and other materials. Consider the idea of using a wormery instead of a compost bin, especially if space is limited. If you would like suggestions on how to make your own wormery then email me on [email protected].

Next decide where to position your compost bin. It wants to be easily accessible, even in the cold wet months of winter, and ideally be placed on bare soil to allow the worms access. Some direct sunlight is good to heat up the contents of the bin as this will

speed up the decomposition process. If you want, suggest to your child those criteria and then let them work out the best place for the bin to go.

With the whole family involved you want to make sure everyone knows what can go into the compost mix.

Having a caddy in the kitchen for vegetable and fruit peelings is an easy way to collect waste. Draw or stick pictures of things that can go into the caddy and attach it to the fridge.

Welcome to the Master Composter feature, where I will tell you about the joys of composting. I am a Master Composter Volunteer, which means that I have been trained by a charity called Garden Organics, in association with Suffolk County Council, and I devote my spare time to encouraging and assisting everyone to compost more. From the complete novice to the veteran composter, if you have a question about composting, then I will use this page to answer them.

Don’t forget that the cardboard from toilet rolls and egg cartons adds to the mix in a compost and stops it getting too soggy. It also provides air pockets inside the bin which allows the process to work better.

While out in the garden get the children to help out and mix the prunings, grass clippings and leaves in with some kitchen waste and straw if you have some. I would advise using protective gloves and eye protection while they do this and while filling the compost with the new material. A broomstick can be used to make holes in the material that has settled to allow air to circulate again. This is an easier option than digging the entire heap into another pile.

Remember, explain that a compost needs Food, water, oxygen and heat, much the same as us. Just the same as baking a cake we need to make sure that we add all the right ingredients, in the right quantities and make sure they get mixed correctly. Then have the right heat make the cake the right consistency at the end. If we add too much water or soft sappy materials then our compost cake will be sloppy and unpleasant. Too dry and much of the ingredients will look the same as when we put them into the bin.

After 6 months to a year some of the compost should have matured to a lovely brown, rich crumbly soil. Remove the layers of material that is still decomposing and place it back into the bin. Then get the children to help you spread the compost over your flower beds, mulch around permanent plants to keep down weeds or mix with leaf mould, general purpose compost or soil to create your own potting compost.

Producing compost in their backgarden should naturally lead onto the use of the finished compost in the garden and hopefully a life of activity for the next generation making beautiful gardens out of the ultimate recycled product.

Compost bins are available through Suffolk County Council’s scheme at suffolkrecycling.org.uk or phone 0845 0770759

Trek the Inca Trail for the HospiceTwo intrepid explorers set out from St Nicholas Hospice Care this week to launch the charity’s latest fundraising trek - to Peru.

Chief Executive Barbara Gale and Trusts and Statutory Funding officer Ben O’Hanlon ventured to Hardwick Heath, in Bury St Edmunds, equipped with walking boots, sticks, guide book and, of course, Peru’s most famous former resident Paddington Bear.

Despite the fact the Heath is thousands of miles away from the South American country, Barbara and Ben they did their best to envisage what lies in store for those who trek the famous Inca Trail in aid of the Hospice.

The pair hope their efforts will persuade others to sign up for the trek, which takes place in May 2012.

Barbara said: “The Peru trek is a great opportunity for people to raise money for the Hospice but also enjoy a fantastic ‘once in a lifetime’ experience. Those who take part will see sights far more breathtaking than Hardwick Heath.”

Jenny Baskett, the Hospice’s Challenges and Events Fundraiser, said: “The Hospice’s treks are always fun and a great experience. The Peru challenge will offer a chance to try new things, meet new people and raise thousands of pounds for the Hospice.”

The 10-day trip to Peru, from 5-14 May 2012, will give offer four days of trekking the incredible Inca Trail to Macchu Picchu, the chance to explore the ancient site and discover more about the Inca civilisation and spend free time in the historical city of Cusco.

Participants are asked to raise a minimum of £3,250 in sponsorship money, which can incorporate paying their own costs of £1,675 and raising a minimum of £1,575 in sponsorship.

Jenny added: “Don’t be put off. With more than a year still to go, there is plenty of time to raise the amount needed. You can treat the trek as your annual holiday or organise some fundraising events of your own to pay for the trip. And you won’t be on your own as we will support you throughout.”

In the past, the Hospice has organised treks to Jordan, The Great Wall of China and New Zealand.

For more information, contact Jenny Baskett on 01284 747614 or email [email protected]

Despite all the doom and gloom and cuts, there are many things to look forward to. First, and perhaps most prominent of all is the Royal Wedding. It is really good that the Prince and his fiancée are setting such a good example by first of all marrying, and secondly by doing so in church.

All the evidence shows that those who get married seem to enjoy life more and live longer. It is also true that children who grow up within a stable relationship, particularly a married one, seem to do better at school and have better and happier lives. Finally, those who seek God’s blessing on their nuptials find that God does answer their prayer and church weddings seem to be not only popular but also lead to blessed and happy lives.

You will be pleased to hear that the Church of England is taking this seriously. There is a new programme called “The Weddings Project” in which we are actively encouraging people to consider coming to church for both their wedding and their blessing. If you are thinking about doing this, why not get in contact with us.

The second thing is the Quiz aid evening (with wine & cheese) our young people group Delta is hosting for Christian aid on 1 April 7:30pm. See poster for

details. Come along and join a fun evening for a very good cause

The Third thing to look forward to is the Good Friday Passion Play. We are hoping to be able to repeat the spectacular event we did over two years ago, films of which went all over the world via the internet and picked up two national awards. But we are not doing this for awards or for publicity. We are doing it because Jesus has made a difference to our lives. We also want to remind people what it cost Jesus Christ to offer us the gift of faith, hope, salvation and of course a place in heaven.

We are celebrating too the fact that the Christian story is a British story. People have been Christian in Britain since the earliest times and Britain has made a significant contribution to world Christianity through the many denominations that started here as well as the society that has been produced here. We have a wonderful Christian heritage and it is right to celebrate it. Going back to the Royal Wedding, it is wonderful that the Royal Family think that this heritage is an important part of their lives and they want to celebrate it too.

Which leads us to the best thing of all, Easter Day. This is when we come together to celebrate the source of our faith. It is because

Jesus died and rose again that we have hope, we have faith, and we receive His Holy Spirit so that we know the love of God in our lives – a love that enables us to love Him with all our hearts, our mind and strength and to love our neighbours as ourselves.

In a time of darkness, despair, cuts, sadness and, of course, the worry of the future, it is good to know we have hope. Hope that comes from our faith in Christ; hope that comes from a God who changes things; hope that gives us a sure and certain future; a hope that we can celebrate in church at any time, whether being married or not. So, my message to you all is please look up from your worries and receive the gift of God, the gift of hope, the gift of love and above all, the gift of faith.

Yours sincerely,

Jonathan Ford

Finally, the snowdrops are in bloom and daffodils in bud, the nights are slowly drawing out and spring is hopefully around the corner.

Can I take this opportunity to remind everyone of the importance of protecting your vehicle and its contents from opportunist thieves. We have continued to receive reports from people who have found that their vehicle has been entered and items removed from within, please let’s not make it so easy for these people and follow these simple rules:

Rule 1: Always keep your car locked. This includes closing the sunroof and windows, even if you only leave it for a few seconds. That’s all it takes for a criminal to steal your car or belongings.

Rule 2: Do not leave anything in your car, particularly when it’s parked overnight. 63% of thefts of / and from vehicles happen when they are parked outside the home.

Rule 3: Park with care. Park in busy or well-lit areas near CCTV cameras or in a police-approved car park if possible. You can find out which car parks are approved at www.saferparking.com.

Always chain bike, motorbikes and scooters to something fixed like security rails and ground anchors.Vehicle crime has actually fallen during the last 5 years. Even so, there are still more than two million vehicle –related thefts each year, and a lot of them could be prevented.

Keep down vehicle crime. Contact the Police if you see something suspicious.

This month, the days get longer, the sun gets stronger, and the first signs of spring arrive. But beware! Don’t let your enthusiasm run away on mild days. Frosts will still be lurking around. It is better to delay sowing and planting if the soil is to wet and cold.

Plant nutrient reserves will be low at this time of year. It is essential that a good fertiliser with trace elements, i.e. Boron, Copper, iron, Manganese and Molybdenum, is added to the soil and existing plants. Rain will also have compacted the soil surface, so gently fork the surface over - making sure not to damage any plants still lying dormant below the surface. This allows air to get to the roots and generally help with the micro-organic activity below the surface of the soil.

Rake seed beds over in readiness for new lawns and apply a fertilizer. Edging of established lawns can be carried out now prior to the start of mowing. If the lawn is dry, the first cut can be made - with the blades set high.

•Complete rose pruning.• Preventative spraying against fungal and insect

pests.•Divide and replant overcrowded perennials.• Plant gladiolus corms.• Sow hardy annuals outdoors if the soil is in a fit

condition.• Plant out sweet peas raised earlier.• Prune summer and late flowering clematis.•Cut back ivy especially from around gutters and

windows.•Many vegetables can be sown if conditions

permit.• Plant early potatoes - but protect from frost.• Plant shallots, garlic, and onion sets - all are

hardy• Fork and remove weeds among

strawberry plants and fruit bushes.

In the greenhouse • Sow tomatoes for outside growing.• Sow half hardy and tender annuals for summer

bedding.• Sow cucumbers, melons, and aubergines.•Keep a careful eye on seedlings sown earlier

- in particular watch for ‘damping-off’Beware of slug activity as the temperatures rise. They can strip young plants and new growth, doing irreparable damage.

VISION 2013news

As chairman of the Residents’ Association I trust that as many residents as possible will have taken part in the various drop in meetings that have taken place during February. This should have been a wonderful ‘once in a generation’ opportunity to ensure that all things that we like about living in this wonderful town are retained and that the bad points receive the attention they require.We cannot stand still as a town and it is essential that we plan for the inevitable growth and the demographic changes. The consultation process of Vision 2013 allows residents and other interested parties to influence the way in which these changes are catered for.The initial consultation process is not complete and there are workshops on the 12th March for both Moreton Hall & Compeigne Way. Attendance at these meetings is subject to registration and if you are unable to attend please let the Residents’ Association know of your concerns and they will be taken into consideration by Committee members who will attend.Please see our new website and note that committee members are spread through out the estate and I am sure your local member would be pleased to have you get to know them.Please come along to the Public Meeting and we will explain how the process continues from here.

Come and hear what has been achieved in the six months since the formation of the Association and what requires to be done in the coming months.This is your opportunity to comment on the activities of the Association and to raise further issues for consideration.It would be helpful if you could let the chairman know in advance of issues that you may wish to raise at the meeting.

FRANKENSTEINDirector: Danny BoyleStarring: Jonny Lee Miller, Benedict Cumberbatch

The National Theatre’s darkly thrilling rendition of the classic tale is unleashed in Cineworld.

After the Oscar-winning acclaim of Slumdog Millionaire and the popular success of his latest film 127 Hours, top British film director Danny Boyle now makes a welcome return to the theatre with Frankenstein. Based on the seminal gothic novel by Mary Shelley, which has captured imaginations for almost two centuries, it’s adapted for the stage by BAFTA-winning writer Nick Dear with Benedict Cumberbatch and Jonny Lee Miller alternating the roles of Dr Frankenstein and the Creature. Dr Victor Frankenstein (played by Jonny Lee Miller on 17 March) has succeeded in his efforts to create life, but is horrified by the results - the innocent yet grotesque Creature (played by Benedict Cumberbatch on 17 March). Rejected by his creator, the monster is cast out into the harsh world where he begins to learn the true meaning of being human...

JuSTIN BIEBER: NEvER SAY NEvERStarring: Justin Bieber, Miley Cyrus, Usher, Jaden Smith

Justin Bieber is already one of the biggest stars in the world, and this documentary traces his rise while giving us backstage passes to his sell-out tour.

How do you get to be an international superstar at the age of 16? Justin Bieber started by posting videos on Youtube. He was soon discovered and pushed into a recording studio. These days he counts his fans in the millions, and has several platinum records to his name. Never Say Never looks at the impact of those early videos - as well as some great footage of Bieber performing as a tot - and takes us with the pop sensation on his first concert tour. It’s an eye-opening, access-all-areas pass into the life of a genuine megastar, intriguing even if you’ve somehow managed to remain unaware of Bieber’s stardom until now. And for fans, of course, this is an unmissable experience, with plenty of guest appearances from Bieber’s fellow celebrities.

GNOMEO AND JulIETDirector: Kelly AsburyStarring: James McAvoy, Emily Blunt, Jason Statham, Maggie Smith, Julie Walters, Michael Caine

The tale of Shakespeare’s star-crossed lovers is the inspiration behind this brilliant new animated film.

Gnomeo (James McAvoy) and Juliet (Emily Blunt) are two garden gnomes who are madly in love with one another. But they are from opposing gnome clans and their love is divided by a massive feud - and a huge fence! You see, red gnomes and blue gnomes have been enemies forever - so long, in fact, it’s hard to remember why - and these guys simply cannot see eye-to-eye. But this doesn’t stop Gnomeo and Juliet continuing their romance in secret, with the assistance of a few helpful (and some not-so-helpful) friends. Cut to lawn-mower races and full-scale battles as these two tribes go to war - they may be small (and made of plastic), but they mean business! With a troupe of famous actors voicing these diminutive characters, this brilliant animation racks up a laugh-a-minute.

The society was initially formed around 30 years ago by James Recknell, Director of Music at Culford School to provide alto, tenor and bass adult voice parts to complement the School treble/soprano Chapel Choir for services.

Culford Choral Society now has around 35 regular singing adult members covering all four voice parts, rehearsing on Monday nights at the School 7.45 – 9.45 pm during Term time under James Recknell’s direction and is supported by the School.

We perform three concerts annually in the School around Easter, Mid Summer and Christmas.

The Easter concert programme is a major choral work with full Orchestra and Professional soloists with additional chorus from The Mildenhall Team Choir and pupils of the Culford School Chamber Choir. We will perform Haydn’s Creation on Sunday evening March 13th 2011 at 7.30 pm (see advertisement for ticket details) and would love to meet up with you there.

Moreton Hall residents prepare for Crazy for YouSHOW-stopping numbers, eye-catching costumes and high-energy dancing will take audiences at the Theatre Royal by storm when the Irving Stage Company’s next production hits the stage.Crazy for You tells the story of Bobby Child, a well-to-do 1930s playboy whose dream in life is to dance. And despite the efforts of his mother and soon-to-be-ex-fiancé, Bobby eventually achieves his dream.In the last three years, the Irving’s productions of Guys and Dolls, Chess and Sweeney Todd have played to packed houses at the Westgate Street Regency theatre.This year, the male lead is being taken by Moreton Hall resident Marc Kerr, of Tassel Road.Former King Edward VI School pupil Marc, 26, has been involved with the Irving Stage Company for many years.He is planning to move to London in May to pursue acting professionally, so this could be his last show in Bury.“I wanted to play the part of Bobby because I was really excited about the challenge of tap dancing. I have never done it before so I wanted to put myself to the test,” he said.“I’ve been working hard to learn not just the basic tap steps, but some of the more advanced ones, because I want to make Crazy for You a good show for myself and everyone else in it.”“Bobby has got some cheeky numbers, so the audience can expect to see some fun song and dances.”Other Moreton Hall residents set to tread the boards in Crazy for You include Nick Templeton, Kathryn Smith, Nicki Stapleton and Camille Berriman.
