 | | | Nayland Flower Show 2010 | | 2. | Posted: August 19, 2010 - 06:13 PM - Updated , By: Nayland Horticultural Society
Show day on 14th August saw a steady flow of spectators coming along to the Village Hall to view the high standard of entries. Despite missing two prolific exhibitors this year there were 320 entries, which is an increase of 100 on last years figure.
It was wonderful to see a good number of new exhibitors. Many of them, very happy with their successes and the good atmosphere of the day, say they look forward to returning next year. Unfortunately, entries in the children’s section were down considerably but we will endeavour to do all we can to encourage the younger generation to enter next year’s show. However, children from Nayland School were represented by a lovely display of produce from their vegetable garden.
All the judges were impressed with the quality of exhibits despite the weather which every year seems to provide a different challenge. This year the hot dry summer had given some produce and flowers a shorter season, and the torrential downpour the day before the show left some exhibitors needing to find substitutes for their prize blooms.
Hazel Gardiner, with 45 points, won the Creems Cup, for the highest number of points in the show, but not far behind were Mick Bond on 37 points and Trevor Smy on 34 points.
Prizes were presented to the winners of the Parish Council’s best kept allotments competition, which was won by Sheila Wildish, with Stephen Osborne second and Trevor Smy third.
Terry Bannister very kindly came along to present the trophies. Our thanks go to Terry and to all of our judges for returning once again. We are also grateful to all those who helped set up and dismantle the displays, Hazel Gardiner and Denise Drury for providing the teas, Pauline Horrell, Sheila Sessions and Peggy Shreeves for manning the door and produce stall, Olive Noakes and Trevor Smy for running the raffle, the committee for their organisation skills and of course all the entrants who take the time and effort to take part and those coming along to support the show.

The programme is shown at the end of these notes. These notes are confined to the issues raised by the Chairman.
Issues that are resolved/need little discussion this evening.
1. MC. Chris has agreed to act as the MC
2. Pimms Bar. Claire has it in hand. Her request for the purchase of Pimms Jugs and Paraphernalia was not agreed. It may be able to borrow.

5. Stage acts. Mandy is still developing but are progressing well – see the programme below.
6. Hot and cold Food. 3 stalls need power sources otherwise everything is in hand
7. Ready Steady Cook. Power needed for water boiler and oven and Steve agreed to provide power requirement to Iain by the end of the week. There was a need for audio that needs to be resolved.
8. Tee shirts. Will has these in hand but costs have increased above £1500. The increase was not agreed and the order is to be reduced.
9. Tickets have been passed to the Post office for the Friday and Saturday events. Andrew holds the remaining tickets and members must contact him if they want more. ( he is away 7-15 September)
Issues needing further discussion.
10. The stage needs 3 young men to assist in erection at 1pm on Friday 17 August. There is no problem getting it on the Field.
11. The bar will need 8-9 people at peak times to serve refreshments. There will be draught beer, wine, water and soft drinks but no spirits. Beer will be ordered nearer the day when numbers are clearer. Plastic glasses are being ordered. Iain has it in hand. There was some concern about returning unused drink. Iain agreed to help to transport a fridge freezer from Andrew’s barn. Iain has arranged to set up 3 drinking water points.
12. Duck race will be run by Woodlands Corner who will sell the ducks which are already numbered. A Mill stream clearing party will meet at 9am on Saturday 21 August under the control of Steve.

17. Bogs and dustbins. Andrew will lead calling on the help of members of the committee as necessary.

Bryan is still negotiating bad weather insurance.( Andrew has confirmed with Suffolk Acre that the Village Hall does not have to take out additional insurance as liability is with the Community Council insurance.)Bryan needs details of floats required.
19. Manpower. There is a huge manpower requirement (from 11am to 11pm) for the Bar, Pimms Stall, Car Park, Entrance Gates and general assistance and not nearly enough have come forward. Jenny agreed to put up notices calling for volunteers in the Village Shops and Anchor Pub asking people to add their names and telephone numbers. A List of existing volunteers is below and members were asked to actively recruit helpers. Colin agreed to co-ordinate the list.
20. Programme. Mandy and teresa agreed to develop a programme which would be supported by local advertisers and a small charge. It would be self financing at least.

| | | Notes from Summer Festival Poject Team Meeting on 7 July | | 6. | Posted: July 11, 2010 - 06:11 PM - Updated , By: Nayland Community Council
THEME: FUN, FOOD AND MUSIC
Present: Barry Wakefield(Chairman); Andrew Gowen(Secretary), Will Hitchcock, Jenny Smith; Bryan Smith, Iain Wright; Mandy Cook, Chris Hunt; Teresa Moriaty; Colin Ramsell and
Steve Maguire;
Apologies: Gale Scott Claire Prescott
These notes are written in the sequence of the planned program and update what was outlined at the 6th Meeting.
1. Friday 17 September 2010. The Village Players supported by members of the Choir were planning an evening event called ‘A Voyage Through the Musicals’ with songs from the past up to the present, performed around a supper with a bar available. We need to publicise cost of tickets and start selling them – the Village Players need to decide this please and the Community Council will cover the cost of providing the tickets.
2. Saturday 18 September
Duck Race .
• It starts at 12 noon and will last 30mins approx
• Marshallers in yellow jackets will be required to direct traffic as cars come down Fen Street to park on the fen field.
• Andrew has warned the Environment Agency that we are going to clear parts for the Mill stream to clear a pathway through the reeds for the ducks. A working party is needed to do this preferably when the water is low. Steve to lead.
3. Art display, St James Flower Festival will be open from midday. The Conservation Society Quiz will not take place as it was considered too local and inappropriate for the occasion. It was agreed to recommend the purchase of Display Boards for the Art Club. There needs to be more co-ordination between the Hort Soc and the Church over the Flower Festival although Kit was present at the meeting when these plans were discussed. There is a Harvest Festival and Confirmation Service led by the Bishop on the Sunday.
4. Food Stalls. Will reported:
a. Hot Food.
• Scotland Farm will provide a barbecue
• Bluebell wood the Venison Roast
• Learmonth Bros the Hog Roast
• Sue Anderson would provide the Veggy Curry but was not available on the day and there was a need provide utensils and people to run the stall
• Elaborate coffee stall
b. Cold Food.
• Apple press - Apricot centre
• Fruit and preserves - Apricot Centre
• Fruit, veg, and preserves - Bures farm shop
Polstead farm - General local food (TBA)
• Taste test – Learmonth
• Food swap - Old Hall – needs publicity to get people to come along with food to swap
• 30 days/30 miles - Old Hall
• Launch of local food guide - Apricot Centre
• Reskilling workshop - Apricot Centre
• WI doing teas, coffee, biscuits and cakes from 12noon to 5pm. They will liaise with Will/Steve.
Will was asked to chase deposits but experience has shown from other events that some will pay on the day. Not all the stall/activities will warrant a charge and reduced charges may have to be negotiated. The important point was to ensure the festival had variety.
5. Ready Steady Cook Competition.
• They will not be using a stage
• Gas hobs would be used and there was no need for other connections – this needs confirmation
• 3 local chefs had signed up and the rules had been agreed. Other cooks were being sought
• Possibly set up in the bar tent?
• Hadleigh Cooking Experience could provide equipment at a cost still being negotiated which will be less than the £400 allocated.
• The competition would run concurrent with activities on the stage but there needs to co-ordination. It was felt that a MC introducing items from the stage might achieve this. It was suggested that Chris Hunt might do this. Chris needs to confirm that he is happy to do this.
6. Afternoon Events on the Stage. Mandy is still working on the programme but the gist of what is planned is as follows;
• Ukulele Band choir
• Emma and Sean with some light classics with a piano
• Nayland Choir folksongs
• Laura Rampton dance school with children
• This was still flexible and a final programme was not yet required.
7. Evening Stage Events. Mandy who is not short of acts hopes to have:
• Katie Dutton Rock Band – folksy
• Youth Club 10 mins – tbd
• Laura Rampton dance school – adult dancers
• Individual groups and singers with an accompanying band lasting some 1hr 15 m
• Housework Band
• Finale – Salt Dog Band finishing at 11pm
• Time taken to change acts/ stage management needs to be resolved for afternoon and evening.
• This was still flexible and a final programme was not yet required. It was important to involve local talent.
• The Finale would be a firework display costing about £200 but hopefully with an extra 20% free fireworks.
8. Publicity. Bryan has put the event on numerous Websites in Suffolk and Essex. Plans are in hand to advertise in local papers and radio. Signs will be put up on the A134. Posters were distributed to members present to put up on an opportunity basis.
• Facebook. Had been set up and was getting a good response.
• naylandfestivallive.co.uk is the festival E Mail address.
• It was agreed that Will can go ahead with the purchase of 500 T. Shirts ( 300 large,100 ladies and 100 kids – cost £3 for large and others at £2.50). Intend selling them at £5 each. There was no rush to produce them.
• Posters had been displayed during the Church Fete and over Open Gardens and small handouts had been available at Open Gardens.
• Pre-sale of tickets. It was agreed to sell tickets before the event from the Post Office and other venues to be decided. The precise wording on the tickets needs to be resolved. Iain agreed to check costings of providing numbered tickets.
• Pre Event Party at 8pm on 10 July at Parkers.

Steve to talk about the food aspect of the event
Mandy to talk about the musical entertainment

9. Alcohol, Car Parking and other requirements.
• An alcohol tent was required – Claire has booked it for £150 from the Boxford scouts. The CC would run the bar.
• Provision and control of alcohol needs to be resolved; ban alcohol being brought in?
• Iain agreed to:
1. sort out lighting on the Fen Field and the possible need for an overflow.
2. sort out the draught and canned beer, wine, soft drink provision
3. Resolve the electrical requirements for stall holders and others.

• We have to decide whether bunting is to be put out – Claire to lead
• A separate Pimms bar – Claire to lead
• The RBL are likely to have a continous showing of Dad’s Army – probably in the bar of the hall
• The school is thinking of having a scarecrow making competition; Mandala food wheel and ‘where does food come’ labelling and collage display. Will’s wife is in consultation with the school.
• Andrew in contact with Stuart Pulford concerning the use of the Fen Field for parking.
• Colin agreed to lead on controlling parking. We need to decide whether an overflow car park can be set up at short notice on Court Knoll
• We need to warn the Police well before the event
10. Layout of the event. With one’s back to the Hall:
• The 20’x24 stage is to be on the left facing across the field with the Hospitality/changing tent to its right and slightly set back. The tent’s dimensions have yet to be decided.
• The bar tent is to be on the right of the Hall, the hot food stall and then the cold food stall in a crescent moving away from the Hall.
• The WI tea tent is to be on the right but immediately in front of the Hall
• We have to decide whether Ready steady cook can take place in the Bar tent which will mean using Iain’s larger tent
A layout produced by Iain as a result of the meeting on 14 May was circulated and committee members with lead responsibilities need to check that the layout is suitable..
11. Finance. Bryan reported that so far £885.00 of CC Money had been committed
It was agreed that individual admission should be £5 with families being charged £10

Other expenses such as fee’s for differenct participating groups, electrics, other tents have yet to be identified.
Unencumbered assets are: £12,197.51
4. Requests for Grants.
a. Village hall dishwasher. The VHMC had agreed that a Dishwasher would be a benefit to the Hall. A decision on whether the Community Council will provide a grant was deferred until details of cost of purchase and installation were availanble. There was a feeling that the Council should not pay all costs of the equipment and fitting it.
b. Art Club Display boards. Although other display boards were available in the village but there was some doubt on their suitability for displaying paintings. (Subsequently at the Festival Meeting that followed, the subcommittee recommended that the display boards amounting to £380 should be purchased for use by all the Societies)
c. Nayland Youth Club had previously asked for £2000 to fund them over a crisis period from July until they can secure more funding. Grants they normally relied on had been withdrawn although two to the Suffolk Foundation had still to be decided.Failure to secure funding might cause the club to close temporarily from July. In the discussion that followed it was noted that already the Community Council provided £700 a year to pay for Village Hall hire charges. Local Parish Council’s including the Nayland and Wiston Council had been approached for help and the club was still awaiting a response. It was felt that the Council should not pick up the tab and the Parish Councils should lead on this; particularly as it was an ongoing requirement. Nevertheless there was a feeling that the Community Council should not let the Club fold through lack of funds and it would look at the problem again if other measures failed. The Chairman and Executive committee was authorised to make decisions on this outside a General Meeting.

5. Community Times. Lorraine would like people/societies to get their contributions in early rather than wait to the last minute and this would avoid disappointment if space runs out.
6. Village Calendar. It was agreed to spend £450 on the first print run of the 2011 Village Calender. A proof copy was circulated and the calendar will be on sale at the Flower Show on 14 August and at the Village Festival weekend.
7. Summer Festival. The meeting received a verbal report on the progress from the project group. It was hoped that the party at 8pm at Parkers on Saturday 10 July aimed at recruiting helpers would be well attended. It was hoped that those attending will bring a plate of food and a drink.
8. Reports from the Societies.
• The Royal British Legion invited members to join them on a visit to the Aviation Museum at St Osyth leaving the doctors’s surgery at 6pm on 12 July. People must warn Bill Martin on 262168 if they want to attend. The Branch was keen to attract new members; past membership of the armed services was no longer a requirement.
• The Conservation Society reported a successful Open Gardens although numbers were down. There would be a talk on Manufacturing in Ipswich at the meeting on 12 October. There would be a Constable display in the Church on the Sunday of the Festival Weekend and a leaflet would probably be produced.. The Society would welcome suggestions for future speakers.
• The WI was holding a Coffee Morning on 17th July for the Children’s Hospice in Ipswich
• The Village Players reported that the revue to celebrate John Swain’s life had been a great success. Readings for the December Play were being held at the Church Hall on14 July at 7.30pm and 18 July at 5pm
• The Carpet Bowls club was currently second in is league and the Charity Bowls day had made £225 for each of two local charities.
• The Horticultural society reported that the May Market was a success; the visit to Wisley very popular and successful as was the visit to King’s Seeds. They were having a Garden Party at Parkers on 14 July and leading on the Flower Festival in the Church on 18/19 September.
• The Choir said the ‘Pirates’ was a success; they were having a general knowledge quiz on 15 July and were planning another choral ‘come and sing’ on 12 October.
• The Youth Club hopes to support the Festival
• The Parish Council had nothing to report but would take note of queries from this meeting.
• The Art club restarts after the summer break on 8 September
• The Village Hall is keeping ahead of its maintenance; the community service miscreants are slowly getting through the painting at not too much inconvenience to users; is grateful to all those societies that work on the garden and plans another gardening day at 9am on 4 September to clean up before the Festival weekend. We hope everybody will help out.
• Transition Nayland reported that the allotments are going well despite the lack of rain; the summer solstice walk led by Chris Hunt was good and that on 15 July the allotments are to receive the first compost from the school eco team!
