Mendham crowned “Suffolk’s Most Active Small Village 2015”

The Eastern Enterprise Hub, Ipswich, have recently unveiled a brass plaque naming Mendham “Suffolk’s Most Active Small Village 2015”.

The award was given in recognition of the parish’s many weekly classes at the village hall, including keep-fit, PiYo, line dancing and TaiChi. There is also a flood-lit Multi Use Games Area (MUGA) available for football, tennis, basketball and netball all year round.

The community also hosts an annual inter-village rounders competition, and a pub versus parish cricket match. Other active groups include the Community Council, Youth Club, Bell Ringers, Choir, W.I. and the Over 60’s.

Work is even due to start soon on the installation of a boules piste in the grounds of the village hall.
