My thanks go to Margaret and Pam for their admin work on the day, Chris for the games, Peter for putting up, and taking down his splendid marquee.

Pakenham Gardening Club After the success and the amazing show of enthusiasm for all home grown at the recent Flower and Produce Show, Gill and I are interested in forming a village gardening club. We propose to meet monthly in a central location to discuss all aspects of horticulture, swap ideas, seeds, plants, cuttings and gossip about our passions for gardening. We thought the occasional speaker and trips to national or local shows would also be a great plan. We would love to make The Flower and Produce Show a yearly event, so we can all get our teeth into serious competing and growing nothing but the best. A gardening club would give us a dedicated team in place to organise something really special annually. We would love your help and participation. Are you interested? If so please contact Mary on 01359233435 maryskirby@yahoo.co.uk or Gill on 01359232406 parry.g@mypostoffice.co.uk. Hopefully there will be enough interest to set the ball rolling. |

The full story can be seen on the BBC web site and photos of the Pakenham visit here. David Eddershaw, the Mill Curator, has advised as follows:- All are welcome to come and see the Prince arrive and leave. However, I understand the road outside the mill is likely to be closed to traffic by the police during the visit. I'm not quite sure when they will do this. The mill car park is reserved for mill volunteers so it would obviously be best to come on foot. HRH will arrive at 1.40 and leave at 2.35. |

| 11.10.2009 | So they have gone. Ian and Avril after 17 years have retired from the Benefice of Pakenham, Norton and Tostock. A Joint Benefice service was held at St Mary's Pakenham on Sunday 11th October with a congregation of 125 attending, comprising of all ages from pre toddler to well past it, a thoroughly good cross section to symbolise the influence that both Ian and Avril have had on this joint community over the years they have been here. The Service as usual was run in the immaculate style of an Ian Hooper service, everything done to perfect time, so smooth, so precise, so acceptable. The sermon delivered with humour, emotion and love was for us regular sermon listeners something we have come to expect as a norm in our religious lives, but this sermon had another dimension. Here was a father figure reaching out to his congregation, telling them he was leaving, saying to them Now you must stand on your own two feet, I have shown you the way, now go out and show others and be dedicated to the work of Christ. The outpouring of love and affection toward Ian and Avril was continued in the farewell "do" in Pakenham Village Hall after the service. A fine spread of food awaited those who came down from the service and was enjoyed by all, a credit indeed to the "Bring and Share" lunches that both Ian and Avril had encouraged during their time in this Benefice. Alan Taylor rose and paid tribute to our departing couple, emphasising the strength of their partnership together, reminding us all of the successful ideas and innovations that had come about under Ian's leadership and perhaps above all a very much stronger Benifice in the 17 years that Ian has been here. We have had our trials and tribulations over the years, but now we are strong and much more together, and much of this is down to Ians encouragement, not only as Rector, but also through the office of Rural Dean, which showed the true strength of his organisational ability. A presentation was then made of a cheque for them both, a set of travelling suitcases, and a large bouquet of flowers for Avril and a selection of wine for Ian . Ian replied in emotional style, saying that although Avril and he had at one time in their lives rather thought that they would have liked to retire in the West Country, far off distant East Anglia and with the people of East Anglia is where they and their family considered their home, and they looked forward to their retirement in Stowmarket. And what could be better, a nice cosy home, sport on the telly, a by now copious supply of wine, a CD of classical music in the background, a walk together in the fine Suffolk air, reminiscing and perhaps pushing the first grandchild in the pushchair, and being totally satisfied that despite all of the problems of the past you have both done a great job, and that certainly in the three villages of Tostock, Norton and Pakenham you will always be welcomed with open arms. On a personal note. I remember 12/13 years ago Ian coming in to Pakenham Post Office and saying to the lady behind the PO counter that he was really worried that he only had one Churchwarden at the time, and the rather fat, unkempt, slovenly fellow behind the retail counter suddenly said "I'll be your Churchwarden", and at that a rather shocked and startled Ian retorted "I must go home and pray". Well Ian, I obviously do not know how you worded your prayer, but I do know that that rather fat, unkempt and slovenly fellow is a better man for your intervention (however stressful) in his life. Thank you both. Someone once said "DON'T FORGET THE WORKERS". Thank you all who organised, cooked and cut and spread and made for us all a wonderful party to say farewell to Ian and Avril. YOU'RE THE TOPS. MB |

| 27.04.2009 | Thanks, but is thanks enough? Not enough in our case. Why is that? Well, we are Jan and Max and we have just been given the greatest send off by this wonderful village of Pakenham that anyone could ever imagine. All we ever did was our best and sometimes our best didn't seem enough. We need to thank everyone who gave up their time and money to organise and attend what was without a shadow of a doubt a fabulous and fantastic evening. Our particular thanks to the glorious and revitalised Pakenham W.I. that, lead by the incomparable Mary Kirby, gave all of us three hours of fun and laughter and lots and lots of food. No, thanks is not enough, we can never thank you enough, all of you, that's everyone who has ever supported us in all of the thirty years we have run the Post Office and that means not just in Pakenham but Stowlangtoft, Thurston and Great Barton as well and all our passing customers from Walsham, Badwell Ash, Gt Ashfield and Norton. We applaud you all, we give you all our love and will give you all our love for as long as we live. That is the only way we can ever repay you. No, thanks is not enough... Jan and Max Bacon |

| 04.04.2009 | Max and Jan's farewell What a great evening this was. !!!! Over 150 people gathered in the village hall to pay tribute and thank Jan and Max. The food was amazing although serving it proved a logistical nightmare but the W.I. girls triumphed as usual and organised a convoy system round the tables. Everyone got to sample all the culinary delights and the scraps were donated to the Porteous' s chickens who must have supplied garlic flavoured eggs all week. The Full Monty team stunned and delighted the audience I fear the W.I. will never be thought of in quite the same way again.!!! We had great fun prior to and during the performance, its amazing the effects a few bottles of good wine can have on your nerves. It was great to see everyone have such a good time; what a good way to spend a Saturday evening. My sincere thanks to all who helped and contributed to the evening but most of all thanks to Max and Jan and family for all the years of kindness and devotion to our village and its residents.

Val has organised and done much of the collecting herself since 1987, and we are most grateful to her for this mammoth effort. Val's going leaves a big gap in our annual arrangements for Christian Aid Week. It would be good if someone else feels able to take it on - once a year, it entails finding collectors for all areas of the village, arranging a count of the proceeds, and banking it at the Post Office. All material and instructions are provided in good time for the Aid Week, which is the second week in May each year. Please ring Joan Mangnall on 01359-230475 if you feel you could be of help, either as village organiser or as collector, of if you would like more information. |

| 17.11.2003 | The Village Hall was well and truly opened on 11th. October by "Fred" from
BBC Radio Suffolk, in the presence of David Ruffley, M.P. and the Mayor
of St. Edmundsbury, Councillor David Lockwood. It was a beautiful day,
and it was lovely to see so many village people together. "Fred" cut
the tape and gave a light-hearted speech with a suitable Suffolk country
theme, enjoyed by all. The rector, Rev. Ian Hooper, dedicated the Hall,
then David Ruffley, M.P. spoke on the importance of rural amenities. the
Mayor endorsed this. Mary Scarfe then spoke wonderfully, tying up the history
of the Hall with the importance of all the village associations. She thanked
everyone who had worked so hard to achieve this magnificent building -
the Village Hall Committee, the architect, the fund raisers, and the whole
village who had supported the various events and had given so generously.
She ended with "Three Cheers for Pakenham!"
The official speeches over, the Pakenham Choir entertained us with a few celebratory tunes, and tea and refreshments were served. The Village Hall Association hopes that all the village will use the Hall and enjoy the facilities - it is yours. As I write this, Max and Jan are actually moving into the new Post Office Shop. We wish them well in their new base, and hope that everyone will find it a convenient stop. We have made this move to ensure that there will be a Post Office Shop in the village for the foreseeable future - it is up to us now to "use it or lose it". Roger Mangnall |

The inside walls are plastered, and the floor covering has been laid in the toilets.The beech floor of the main hall has arrived, but laying it must wait for completion of the ceiling. The kitchen furniture has been fitted; the cooker and refrigerator are on order for delivery in late July. The planned Post Office shop is still a shell, but the fittings are on order. Fitting out of the shop will be the last thing we do, probably late in August. We hope that the Hall will be in full use from the beginning of September.

If there is anyone who would be willing to lead a group, the Committee would be pleased to hear and to assist with getting the group going. We need a leader for the Whist Group which is in abeyance just now. Perhaps a line dancing group could be formed again? What about a Bridge Group? We have some smart new card tables.

| May 2002 | The Queen's Golden Jubilee Pakenham Church Bellringers We have now rung 3 of the 5 quarter-peals we hope to ring for the Queen's Jubilee year. Each quarter peal consists of around 1260 changes and lasts approximately 45 minutes. Change ringing means that the bells change their order with every strike, according to the rules of a particular method. "Doubles" methods are rung on five bells and "Minor" methods on six bells. For Doubles methods the heaviest bell, the Tenor, will mark time at the end. The lightest bell, the Treble, usually rings a less complicated routine which helps to keep the others in place. So far, Joan Tipple, Sue and Steve Munford, Sal Burrows and Ken Brown have rung in all three quarters, with Ken doing the "conducting", (that is calling the Bobs and Singles that alter the work each bell does). Mandy Shedden from Rougham rang in the first and Sandy Miles in the second. For the third on April 7th we were delighted to have Carl Munford back with us. He started again just before Christmas after an eighteen-month break and was able to ring in this special quarter which was rung with the bells half-muffled as a mark of respect to honour and remember H.M. Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother. Bell muffles are leather pads which are tied on to one side of the bell-clappers so that as the bell swings one way it rings clear and when it swings the other way the tone is muffled by the leather pad. Visitors are always welcome to our practice night on Fridays. Sal Burrows. |

set to be with us for some time yet - see photographs.
The flooding on the A143 has been getting gradually deeper causing great
inconvenience to traffic and local residents alike with the diversion for
light vehicles through to Upper Town cross-roads in Pakenham. Jim Nunn (Suffolk C.C. Highways Dept.) has advised that the intention is to pump the water away towards Ixworth into the river but the task will not be easy or guaranteed successful due to the extremely high water table. Eventually it is thought that the road may be raised with better piping and more effective drainage installed. Speed restrictions may be imposed along the diversion route indicating that it could be some time before the work will be completed. |
