This grandad had patience, skill and a slightly macabre sense of humour 🙂.

Ooh, this is so, so true... I'd never thought about the cumulative effect!

Why should we pay cash everywhere with banknotes instead of a card ?

- I have a £50 banknote in my pocket. Going to a restaurant and paying for dinner with it.

The restaurant owner then uses the note to pay for the laundry.

The laundry owner then uses the note to pay the barber.

The barber will then use the note to pay for shopping.

After an unlimited number of payments, it will still remain a £50 value, which has fulfilled its purpose to everyone who used it for payment and the bank has jumped dry from every cash payment transaction made.

BUT

IF I go to a restaurant and pay digitally via Card,

- the bank fees for my payment transaction charged to the seller are 3%, so around £1.50

( and so will be the fee of £1.50 for each further payment transaction )

-for the owner re laundry or
- payments of the owner of the laundry shop,
- or payments of the barber etc.....

Therefore, after 30 transactions, the initial £50 will exist at only £5, and the remaining £45 has become the property of the bank … thanks to all of the digital transactions and fees!

Use it or lose it folks…

Once it’s gone we won’t get it back!

Cash is king!

It's great to hear that Just42 will be continuing to run the youth club in Rendlesham in September following the trial year 🙂👍🙏

It’s been an amazing year, and we’re so grateful to have been running the youth clubs in Rendlesham.

You may be aware that we have now reached the end of the funding generously provided by Rendlesham Parish Council, who have supported the youth club on a trial basis.

Although this funding has now come to an end, we’re pleased to let you know that the youth clubs will continue to run from September. We may need to change some of the practicalities, but please be assured that we recognise the importance of providing a youth club for local young people and we remain committed to supporting the young people of Rendlesham.

To help make this possible, we will be seeking new sources of funding. If you know of any local organisations, businesses, or grant opportunities that may be willing to support the youth clubs, we would love to hear from you. Every recommendation could make a real difference.

We are also looking for volunteers to help us run the clubs. If you are interested in getting involved or know someone that might, please get in touch, we would be delighted to hear from you.
We hope you all have a fantastic summer, we’ll be in touch before the clubs reopen in September to let you know all the details.

Best wishes,

Just42

Some recent hand-painted ceramic / pottery beauties from the Jars of Clay Ceramics Studio and Cafe kiln.

If you aren't confident to draw something free hand you can always bring in a picture of the correct size and we can show you how to trace the outline onto the ceramic first to get you started.
