Look, there's normally a lot going on in the Box River Benefice - it's that kind of place, people like doing stuff round these parts. But seriously, this June must be a bit of a record-breaker for the dazzling number of events planned for the month. There's something for everyone - dog shows, fashions shows, live music, open gardens, art exhibitions, film nights, history talks, village fetes, barn dances, and last but definitely not least, Father Rob's very last service for the benefice before he and his family leave for pastures new. Talk about a packed diary! All the details for all of the above can be found in this month's bumper Box River News - hurtling through your letterboxes from this weekend onwards, or available online NOW at https://www.boxfordsuffolk.com/box-river-news/2025/June

"Ne'er cast a clout, till May is out." - so says the time-old proverb. You may be surprised however to learn that a 'clout' is an old-fashioned word for a piece of clothing, so essentially it's saying "Don't strip off outside until June as you'll catch your death, you silly bu**er". I think we can all agree that is sage advice indeed, yet it sharply contradicts with the concept of World N**e Gardening Day which is on the first weekend in May?! Our gardening expert Chloris has more on this naturist calendrical oddity in this month's BRN - available online here at https://www.boxfordsuffolk.com/box-river-news/2025/May or it'll be delivered to your homes by our fully-clothed distributors from this weekend onwards. Enjoy!

Traditionally April is the tricksters' month when all the 'hilarious' pranks are played on April 1st. Notable examples in history are when the BBC tried to convince everyone that spaghetti grew on trees, when they announced that the natural history team had discovered a species of penguin that could fly, or when Tesco announced they were selling carrots grown with holes so that they would whistle when cooked. Oh, how we laughed.
You'll find no such falsehoods in this month's Box River News, no sir! Just the actual facts of the smorgasbord of events and news happening in the benefice this month. Quit standing there yawning like a bear woken up from hibernation! Get to it! https://www.boxfordsuffolk.com/box-river-news/2025/April

What's this? Sunset.. after 5pm? Some light? Some warmth? Surely some trickery? I thought the world had been plunged into eternal darkness by some malevolent sorcery. Not so! Just one glance at the number of events being planned around the benefice in this month's BRN is a positive sign that we're heading for weather you can actually stay outside for more than 3 minutes in. But don't take my word for it - the BRN will be swooshing elegantly through your letterboxes from this weekend onwards and robo-cyborg types can access its digital partner right here off the website: https://www.boxfordsuffolk.com/box-river-news/2025/March

Important news! Our dedicated archive researchers have unearthed news that the Anglo Saxons used to call February 'Sol-monath', the translation for which is 'cake month'. CAKE MONTH! Despite its awful weather, February might now be my favourite month of the year! Apparently the anglo-saxons used to offer their cakes to the gods, but we can gloss over that bit I'm sure.
In C̵a̵k̵e̵ ̵M̵o̵n̵t̵h̵, er, February's issue of the BRN we cover all the latest from the Boxford Surgery closure debacle, we remember SESAW's Maggie Jackaman, Natural Boxford want to test your tracking skills and the Butcher's Wife decides her house needs more ventilation in the middle of winter. And there's so much more!
Paper copies will be dodging rain and wind to find your letterboxes from this weekend onwards, but if you're greedy for the news and can't wait that long, clickety-click over to https://www.boxfordsuffolk.com/box-river-news/2025/February for instant satisfaction!

As you boys and girls have all been super good this year here's an early Christmas present for you. The January 2025 issue of the Box River News is here! Just like the Pacific atoll of Christmas Island, New Year always comes to the BRN before the rest of the world. Go figure.
Anyway, thank you to all of our readership across South Suffolk this year for your amazing comments and contributions. Let's hope 2025 is a fantastic year that brings some much-needed peace and prosperity to all.
The online version of the magazine can be downloaded simply by visiting https://www.boxfordsuffolk.com/box-river-news/2025/January but should you prefer to relax and let it come to you (and you've earned a well-deserved break!) then it'll be arriving through your letterboxes very soon.
Happy New Year!

Ooo, Christmas is officially around the corner! Here's an early present, just for you!
The December BRN, 48 pages of treats and goodies, no assembly required, doesn't need feeding or walks, doesn't come wrapped in plastic packaging and best of all, doesn't need batteries.
If you're the type that sits under the chimney all night on Christmas Eve trying to see Santa, then you'll no doubt already be trying to download it from here: https://www.boxfordsuffolk.com/box-river-news/2024/December but if you're the patient sort, then our magical Elves will bring it to you from this weekend onwards.
Have a wonderful Christmas wherever you'll be and don't forget to be good!

Remember, remember, the 5th of... um..
Well, nevermind, what's important is the fantastic November issue of the Box River News is here for your delight, you lucky sausage!
Again, an absolutely back-busting 52 pages of news, events and views from around the benefice, it'll be rocketing into your letterboxes from this weekend or click this here link to download it super-fast and steal a march on your neighbours with advance knowledge of what's going on: https://www.boxfordsuffolk.com/box-river-news/2024/November
Enjoy the fireworks but please enjoy them safely and respectfully!

October! The month permanently at odds with itself after being named as the eighth month of the year only for Julius Caesar to ruin it all by moving January and February to the front of the calendar to make it the tenth month instead. Those pesky latin so-and-so's, couldn't leave anything alone, could they?
Anyway, the October BRN this month is an absolute monster of B-movie proportions, weighing in at a colossal 52 pages of news, articles, events and opinions. It's stomping out for delivery towards the end of this week, but if you are the litigious sort, please don't sue us for damage incurred to your letterboxes during the delivering of this weighty beast - instead grab the online version, weighing just a few mere electrons, here: https://www.boxfordsuffolk.com/box-river-news/2024/October

We're already at the tail-end of what has quite possibly felt like the shortest holiday season ever. Let's hope you were able to top up the vitamin D in those few blink-and-you'll-miss-them sunny weeks! But don't fear the return to normality (both weather and routine-wise) - there is an absolutely colossal amount of events in the Box River Benefice coming up to distract you. From the celebrations of the 250th anniversary of the local postal service to racing snails, from live music to historical talks - if it's not in the BRN this month - it's probably not even an event! BRN mega-fans can whizz over to https://www.boxfordsuffolk.com/box-river-news/2024/September for a quick fix, but it should be flitting through letterboxes from Sunday onwards!

Tesco may well have boxes of Christmas chocs already for sale in store 😱, but the August Box River News is a seasonal gift for now! Pull on your best swimming cozzie, lather on the sunscreen (The Glow Pro in this issue has got you covered!), make yourself a huge pint of gin and tonic and relax in the garden with your favourite monthly read from the Box River Benefice. Catch up with your favourite columns - the Butcher's Wife bawls her eyes out (and it's not from the onions in this month's recipe), the Natural Boxford group draw inspiration from Bower House Farm and Chloris reveals the shocking connection between roses and prescription painkiller addiction 😲. It's all here in the BRN! Eager-beavers can grab their online copy here: https://www.boxfordsuffolk.com/box-river-news/2024/August or it'll start sauntering through your letterboxes from this weekend onwards.
