Bungay Town Council Town


Council 0814472


throughout August and September and we’re delighted that there is so much positive news! Firstly, some of you might have spotted posters at various locations around the town highlighting the arrival of four all-weather table tennis tables! The Ping! project (a Table Tennis England initiative) aims to bring table tennis tables into the public domain thereby making them accessible, social and fun! The four tables will be located in the Old Grammar School play area, Garden Close and Meadow Road with a Launch Event planned for Saturday 21st September at 10am, so please come along to find out more. For those of you wishing to hone your technique, a table tennis coach will be on-hand to help you to do just this! After the launch event, table tennis bats and balls will be available from the Council Offices in Broad Street.

Bungay High School News


for the various different Awards need to be handed- in (or emailed to admin@ bungaytowncouncil.gov.uk) by Friday 11th October so now is the time to think about nominating an individual or group for one of the coveted Awards.


For those of you


familiar with the nomination process, take another look at this year’s criteria as there are two additional ‘group’ categories and there are certainly many worthy groups out there who deserve to be recognised for the contribution they make to the community. Nomination forms are available on the Town Council’s website (under ‘Press Releases’) or can be collected from the Library, Community Centre or the Town Council’s office in Broad Street. In


terms of newsworthy


stories, many of you will no doubt have seen the news that an ATM will be returning to Bungay.


This 24-hour


cashpoint will be located in the town centre and will, undoubtedly, be very much welcomed by shoppers and traders alike.

CONGRATULATIONS to our students on another excellent set of GCSE results. We are delighted that 63% of students achieved a Grade 4+ in both English and Maths. In English, 72% of students achieved a Grade 4+ with 73% achieving this in Maths. This achievement is equally impressive across the broad range of curriculum subjects that we offer. Students have worked extremely hard and been so committed to


their


learning. Coupled with the support of their


excellent


teachers, support staff and parents, this has provided an exceptional climate for learning at Bungay High School. We are extremely proud of the progress, which our students make, and the standards that they achieve in the five years that


they are with us. The


Governors and I would like to pass on our congratulations to


points around the town. These


devices not only help the Council to gather useful data that feeds through into general traffic planning, but they also serve to prompt drivers to observe their speed!


Finally, the Pride In Bungay monthly Litter Pick has continued to gain momentum so if you’re interested in being a part of this wonderful initiative, just come to the Council Office in Broad Street at 10am on the third Sunday of the month and you will be provided with the necessary equipment! New volunteers are always welcome.

HARLESTON Garden Club enjoyed two enlightening talks during the summer. In July, Luci Skinner from Woottens of Wenhaston, a true plantsman’s nursery, discussed irises and their place in our gardens. In August Johnny Walkers took us through a delightfully topsy-turvy A – Z of bulbs. As for Irises Luci showed at


least one Iris for every month of the year – from the tiny Iris reticulata which blooms in January among the snowdrops and is happy in shade, to the winter flowering and evergreen irises that enliven December.


good in April. Bearded Irises bloom from May to June, and we should be planting these now, in September.


When


planting irises remember not to crowd them among each other or other plants, they like breeze and plenty of space. In June the Siberian crested Iris; and in July, around the edges


of ponds or other water, the Louisiana. August reveals the Japanese iris with dinner-plate size flowers; and in September our native Iris foetidissima. Woottens have 600 varieties and their astonishing range has something all through the year in the Iris department. Johnny Walker’s somewhat anarchic exploration of the world of bulbs (bulbs, tubers, rhizomes and corms) was no less astonishing.


Johnny, Dutch Irises are
