Very quiet on the hill, Solar is open till 4pm and still has some bread, it's started snowing again and the TC has spawned a sub-committee to help make the skate park happen.

The Film @ Fram audience clapped The Station Agent last week, we much approve and hope it becomes a habit.

Sun 20 Nov

It was School Days at The Railway last night and the audience did stand for the Phoenix Singers' Hallelujah Chorus, the Phoenix Singers are the lower picture.

Thu 17 Nov

Sad to report that Peter Pickett was found dead in his flat after Ben Goodbrey had notified the police concerned that Peter had not turned up for work.  It's thought that Peter died in his sleep, probably Monday night.

Tue 1 Nov

Fortunately the rain held off for Halloween and Barclays made an effort.

Wed 12 Oct

That'll teach us to make assumptions; community copper Andrea Honeywood says the black Rover below wasn't turning, more info soon ...

... the Rover was coming along Albert Place, swerved and hit the wall apparently and if you don't believe me ask Andrea on her new forum.

Mon 10 Oct

This afternoon a black Rover didn't quite make it round the corner at the bottom of Fore St.  A bystander expressed the usual opinion that the police were making the traffic worse.  Can't quite see how Alan Mutimer's truck would have got in without someone to stop the traffic?

Thu 8 Sep

Sounds unlikely but the Community Centre got their bingo set back!  Sarah says:

Thank you very much.  My faith in Fram has been restored.

Tue 6 Sep

Does anyone remember American serviceman Chris Lane Gray who lived in Fore Street in the mid 80s?   He's now domiciled in Arkansas and looking for news of Jim and 'Queenie' from the Hare and Hounds.

Sun 24 Jul

Very regrettably Chris Haesler has resigned after twelve years as a town councillor because of ill health in his family.  A thoroughly nice man and we shall miss him very much - Eileen Coe.

The Crown is the Arts Fram box office this year, so you could go to tonight's FREE jam session and book tickets at the same time ... and they didn't run out of beer at the Hacheston Bygones Rally where the three wheeler Morgan understandably won best something or other.

Tue 31 May

Over the weekend Chelle Armour walked 100 miles in 37 hours 40 minutes and raised over £1,000 for Arthritis Research, not surprisingly these are her feet.

Royalty will be officially opening the new St John's HQ in October, a house for sale in the Free Ads and you may have noticed we now have a bulletin board.

Thu 05 May

The polls are open till 10 o'clock tonight, you don't have to have your poll card to vote and you don't have to tell those people hanging about with clipboards how you voted.  Just DO IT.

Sat 16 Apr

Remember we wanted the Airfield Museum phone number for US Navy Chief Aviation Electronics Technician Brad Taylor?  Brad writes I had a wonderful time there in Fram and everyone in the community was very helpful.  A special thanks to Gerry Fryer and Raymond Carter for sharing their time and knowledge at the Air Museum on a day that it wasn't regularly open.  It was nice to see where my grandfather served during World War II and I look forward to spending time with him this summer to talk about the pictures I have.  I most definitely want to bring my family back to share the experience.  How nice.

Thu 10 Mar

The yellow jackets poking about in and around Station Road are from Milton Keynes Surveys.  The head office wouldn't tell us who their client is (maybe you can do better mail@mksurveys.co.uk 01908 565561), but MKS are taking levels for a feasibility study associated with the "seed place".  (Later:  A source close to someone says it's Bovis wanting to build on the Victoria Mill Rd end of the Bibby's site.)

Sat 19 Feb

It would seem you have to be a current government minister to get the police turn out we had last week; past minister John Gummer didn't appear sufficient.

Sat 12 Feb

An awful lot of police, noise, and some milling about outside Thomas Mills before Any Questions last night.  Don't know what happened afterwards as we went to Ipswich for the beer festival.
