Remembrance Sunday Our bell ringers will be ringing twice on Sunday 11 November. In the morning the bells will be rung between 10.00 & 10.30, half-muffled to reflect the sombre and commemorative nature of the morning events. Our service of Remembrance will follow at 10.45am in the village hall when we hope for a good attendance to remember and pay our respects to all those who served, particularly remembering those from this village who died in the conflict. In the afternoon a group of local ringers will be ringing at Thornham Magna, Yaxley, Stoke Ash & Wickham Skeith with the bells open (unmuffled) in a celebration of the peace that armistice brought. They intend to ring at Wickham Skeith from 4.15 to 4.45 followed by tea & cake. If any non-ringers would like to join them at the church you would be most welcome (especially if you bring some cake!). For further information contact Pete Davidson

A sincere thank you to everyone who helped in any way at Annie Munn's on September 29th. The wonderful total of £430 was raised, which must be one of the best for Wickham Skeith. The lovely weather helped to encourage visitors and there were lots of cakes, prizes and bring and buy items for everyone to enjoy.Thank you all once again.
Saturday 17th November is the November Fair from 12 noon to 4pm with a wide range of stalls including our very own Tombola-PRIZES NEEDED PLEASE-guess the weight of the cake etc, there will be tea, coffee, biscuits and this year, as we open over lunch time, delicious soup and bread is available. Come along early, stay late and enjoy the start of the festive season in Wickham Skeith!
There will be a Mental Health Mates walk in Wickham Skeith on Saturday 24th November, starting at 11am from the Village Hall. Short walk of 1.5miles, followed by a light lunch at a local house. Optional longer walk of 3.5 miles in the afternoon, finishing at 3pm. Contact Julia Shekleton: julia.shekleton@btinternet.com for more information.

The Quiz of the Year is on Saturday 1stDecember and will be the usual roller coaster of emotions as Nigel's questions tease, tax and terrify us. Please come along as an individual, couple or team-although it is best to let Nigel know in advance so he can plan the number of hotdogs required. Beer, wine and soft drinks available at the bar throughout the evening of course at the cheapest prices locally will help to lubricate those rusty memories. Teams of 8 at £5 per person or we will match you up to make a team to have what is always an enjoyable evening. 7 for 7:30 please.
The Children's Christmas Party is on Saturday 15thDecember from 4-6:30 at the all-inclusive price of £6 which gives a gift from Santa, tea, games and fun, fun, fun! Please let Denise-9 Grange Road, 767838-know age, gender of your child/ren if they are coming. No admittance on the day unless pre-booked I'm afraid because of organisational needs.
is on Thursday 27thDecember this year and we hope that as many people as possible, with or without dogs will come along and enjoy a mulled wine, a gentle stroll-or more energetic walk-hot soups and bread and chat with friends, neighbours and families. Times in the next edition of the Newsletter.
...and of course no Newsletter is complete without a mention of the Annual Fete on the Green on third Saturday of June. Ideas and offers are always welcome-no matter what time of year it is so please contact any member of Village Hall Committee or especially Katie who has so successfully headed up the fete for the last years and our great thanks go to her for the fete's continuation and growing reputation as a fun afternoon.
Ideas for next year? Curry Night, Barn Dance...please let us know what would get you, your family or your children out and into the Village Hall for a couple of hours!!
The next deadline for syndicate orders is 30 November. If you’d like oil please email me at jerrybassett@icloud.com or call 765908 if you’ve no access to email. An explanation of the scheme can be found in September’s newsletter but if you don’t have that to hand please let me know and I’ll forward details.

Stoke Ash Women’s InstituteWe are always pleased to welcome new members. You can come as a guest for an evening, but if you’d rather not come alone contact the President or Secretary, whose numbers are at the bottom of this article. They can put you in touch with someone, who will bring you to the meeting and introduce you. A warm welcome awaits you. Our programme for meetings is published on the Stoke Ash village website and on our dedicated WI page (http://sefwi.org.uk/institutes/stoke-ash). Our September meeting was addressed by Ann Day, who gave a very informative talk on ‘Industrial Ipswich’. It was amazing to find out exactly what went on in those familiar streets, as far back as Medieval times. Secretary: Jean Willoughby

An extra special treat: COAST TO COAST (1987), directed by Sandy Johnson, our own local film director who will be there to introduce the film. This comedy thriller stars Lenny Henry and John Shea. £5, booking essential, please phone Priscilla.
