December Edition
What a very different Christmas it must have been for the members of USAAF Fighter Group in 1943. Not only were they thousands of miles away from loved ones but they risked their lives every day. Halesworth Airfield Museum have an archive which gives some insight into their life on the base (see page 7), a reminder to us, with Remembrance just passed of what was sacrificed and how grateful we should be that we are able to enjoy the Christmases we do now – not to mention our freedom!
An opportunity to support your local independent traders this month at Halesworth’s ‘Starlight Shopping’ event, with another following in December. There will be late opening, live music and more. It’s such an advantage having a pedestrianised Thoroughfare when things like this are held, bringing the community together and supporting local businesses. There will be more Christmas events in December – enjoy!
A huge well done to Halesworth resident Karen Prime and her friend Rachel Plant from Southwold who took on a gruelling Triathlon to raise over £2500 for the Pear Tree fund.
I’m sure many local people will benefit from the support this money will enable the charity to provide, at a very difficult time in their life.
