Councillor Tracy CliffordAlthough it will interfere with her shopping and travel, our own Tracy Clifford has nobly become a town councillor.

Don't forget it's the Street Fayre this Friday.  3,000 people packed in to Fram last year and again we shall be Panto City.

Saturday's Talent Off the Hill demonstrated just how able today's young musicians are.  Our apologies to Catherine Cresswell for failing to get a pic and yes, Roy is seriously considering doing it again soon.

Not only did waitresses Polly Handy and Catherine Cresswell make a cracking job of preparing the restaurant this weekend for a golden wedding anniversary but worked hard to make it the success it was.  Displaying the admirable flexibility typical of Crown staff Catherine will be being very lovely at next month's Talent off the Hill.

The Crown was the setting for  Anglia TV presenter Natalie Gray to do a piece to camera about Framlingham being in the last fifteen of Country Life's Favourite Market Town.  It went out on the six o'clock news tonight.

Tracy isn't looking quite so brown now but she liked Turkey so much she's going back this month.

Cilla Brooks - ReceptionTracy came back from a holiday in Turkey a little while back looking suitably brown and new face in Reception is Cilla Brooks.  Cilla, who previously ran her own kitchen  fittings business, had the good humour, common sense and commitment we were looking for and we can only hope she stays with us for the foreseeable future.

Charlie Haydock Charlie Haydock Charlie Haydock Charlie Haydock

Charlie Haydock may be pure solid Suffolk and a waistcoat wearer but last night he was extremely relevant, very funny and rather clever.  To paraphrase his Hurricane over Basildon "so 15 year old mother of five Chardonay Mercedes rings for an ambulance:

 'Where are you bleeding from?'

'Romford, but what's that got to do with it?'"

The Crown's lounge crowded with guided walkers waiting for the off

Arts Framlingham gratifyingly is being a great success. Look at our lobby crowded with guided walkers waiting for the off, it certainly irritated The Gamekeeper as he  tried to make his way through ... but then everything irritates The Gamekeeper.  Anyway FREE tonight folkies Charlie Haydock and Pluck 'n' Squeeze (a band with a bass player who was an assistant jockstrap darner at the Royal Ballet?!).
