| we 4 ja 12 | Whimsy in the car park of Stradbroke swimming pool and less entertainingly this 
from someone with an IQ less than their collar size on the cricket pitch next door. |
| we 28 de 11 |  When we arrived early at the Stradbroke Community Centre yesterday it didn't look good for A Christmas Carol, the audience was maybe a dozen silent people in their coats and a rather chilly hall ... but by show time the heating had turned on, just about every seat was taken and the audience was up for joining in. Lots of much enjoyed by the children audience participation and Laurence Pears' ♫Jingle bells Batman smells♫ sung in the Scottish manner justly earned its own applause. There are still a handful of chances to see this Keeper's Daughter production.

| su 10 jl 11 | Yesterday's semis and finals of the James Grigg T20 Cup at Stradbroke had all the charming qualities of village cricket, at least two lost balls, hog roast, beer tent, a three way debate at over between the umpires, scorers and players whether it's a free hit AND an extra ball or a free hit OR an extra ball, the crowd pointing out the field can't be changed during the over, the raffle prize of a cricket box being won by a man, fortunately ... great stuff and a fitting tribute ... more pix on Facebook. |
| mo 09 my 11 |  Bob Whoopee Band Kerr found organising the returned Stradbroke Jazz festival stressful, with weeks to go ticket sales were poor ... but come the weekend Saturday night was standing room only. Yesterday we got to see the manic Spike Botterill and the outstanding Nicola Farnon trio who might be described as lounge jazz, but that would obscure they're all three are real players and Nicola has a charming voice. Hope Bob can steel himself to do it again. ♫

| fr 08 ap 11 |   Theatre company The Keeper's Daughter who toured a tight and creative Dracula last year are rehearsing what will certainly be an original Hamlet around the libraries (mostly) of ntc later this month (while we've still got the libraries) including Halesworth, Stradbroke and Saxmundham.
