Today the end of this working week it's the Framlingham Flyers' Friday Five a five mile road race.  It's the Suffolk county five mile championship and a field in the region of 500 is expected so the Saxmundham and Badingham roads will be crowded around 7:30pm.  Hopefully the race director's comments to the runners will be as amusing as last year.
