Congratulations to Cockfield

Yesterday it was announced that Cockfield has won the Suffolk Village of the Year Competition.

Villages that enter the competition are judged on community spirit,  general appearance of the village, the parish council, the natural environment and any other factors that impress the judges.

Given that the village is very widely spread out, comprising eight separate clusters around eight greens,on the face of it this award seems a particularly great achievement.  Perhaps however the fact that the village IS rather spread out is a contributory factor? I am sure that whatever the key to success, hard work and determination are somewhere in the mix.   It is certainly true that there is a great deal going on in the community, from the preservation of wildlife meadows to computer classes for beginners.

Congratulations to all concerned.
