Carl Wilson and Laura GriggsThis is Carl Wilson and Laxfield First Responders coordinator Laura Griggs demonstrating their pulse oximeter at this year's Brundish Makemerry.  As their beat is very rural inevitably the ambulance tends to take longer to arrive so two responders go out on a call.  Laura echoed Framlingham coordinator Leighton Page's observation that people are very generous giving money but what is needed most are more responders.  If you want to help email Carl (remember you won't go out on your own:) or contact Leighton (Man in the Hat) on the board.

su 17 ju 2007 ~ Final day of the Inter Village Games at Laxfield, Suffolk

Don't worry, they have to change roundEvents have been going on all week between the ten villages in this year's Inter Village Games.  Some were Look at this face.  Is it bovvered? physical including tennis and football, and some were not; but it all came together today on the Laxfield Playing Field.  There were events for real littlerlys and not so litterlys ; and the blond charmer below made a real commitment to the bat and bean bag race but got a bit slowed down by dropping her bean bag but was she bovvered?

Stopping needs organisation tooThe event that really calls for team work is the four on two planks and we thought the four girls in orange (Dennington) were going to do it but   Weybread prevailed ... though stopping was a bit of a problem ... as it was in the three legged race.

The crowd were cheering the egg throwing but we had taken time out to eat one of the rather meaty burgers and for us the highlight was the third place decider between Dennington and Metfield in the tug of war.  The pull just went on and on and on with the crowd getting really involved.  Dennington won but at the price of Jason (who used to tend bar at the Fram Station in Neil Pacoe's time) being very slow to get up, we think he might have hurt his ankle.  A brilliant afternoon that makes you proud to be British!
