Aldeburgh in 2011-10

we 2 Nov 2011	Daytime house burglaries yesterday in Aldeburgh and Saxmundham.
fr 12 Aug 2011	A coffee morning tomorrow in Peasenhall and if they can find it the very visual Suffolk School of Samba in the afternoon at Benhall flower show before going on to crank it out at the Aldeburgh carnival Monday.
sa 30 Jul 2011	The free Westleton wild flower festival in the village hall started yesterday and ends tomorrow, and it's the divine Buster Keaton in the feature length comedy The General at the Aldeburgh cinema tomorrow evening.
we 27 Jul 2011	71 years ago today the destroyer HMS Wren was sunk by German aircraft some 20 nautical miles east of Aldeburgh.
we 13 Jul 2011	A surprising amount of Isle of Man TT coverage last year on ITV4 and Andy Tiernan commented it's an alien environment for a motorbike. The feature length doc Closer to the Edge shows at the Aldeburgh Cinema this Friday and Saturday though it's not clear if it's in 3D.
sa 4 Jun 2011	At the Family Fun Day in Aldeburgh it was great fun to watch the local law enforcement community re-enact that jolly royal wedding copper ... but also poignant as so many of the public services present are under threat. We were particularly impressed by two dudes beavering under the Suffolk Roadsafe awning fixing bikes, they also teach bike maintenance and road safety ... not just cones in the playground safety but culminating in four hours on the public roads safety. They are paid for by the county council, have had to reapply for their jobs and don't know if they'll be around next year.
tu 26 Apr 2011	Mobile phones pinched in Aldeburgh and Leiston.
sa 5 Mar 2011	Yesterday in Aldeburgh for the 10th literary festival Virago founder Carmen Callil was in conversation with Mary Chamberlain author of Fenwomen, Virago's first publication. There was little sound as late we approached the auditorium doors, audience must be pretty thin we thought ... the Jubilee Hall was packed! Afterwards a very impressive if slightly secret bookstall at the back of the stage and then across the road to the cinema gallery for Justin Partyka's shot on real film photos for the new Full Circle edition of Fenwomen.
we 9 Mar 2011	The Aldeburgh White Lion shut for refurbishment last month and won't re-open until 21st April. Now that is a refurbishment.
we 2 Mar 2011	Be warned, the cops are going to enforce parking in Aldeburgh.
sa 29 Jan 2011	Braving the cold, and it was cold outside Leiston Library this morning, Steve Smedley was leafleting borrowers to remind them about next Saturday's demo outside the library and that unless something gets sorted the library along with another 28 including Aldeburgh, Debenham, Framlingham, Saxmundham, Stradbroke and Wickham Market will close.
su 24 Oct 2010	Welcome to new advertiser Suffolk Exhibitions who have a show in Aldeburgh next month, thank you to the Greener Garden Guy who has renewed his Leiston slot and it's cost Damini Custard just £1.21 to support ♫Russian girlie symphonic metal band Blackthorn (we like the synchronised hair twirling).
mo 16 Aug 2010	A red Hyundai in Aldeburgh had it's rear window smashed yesterday.
mo 5 Jul 2010	Crikey! Surprisingly nobody seriously hurt in this Aldeburgh one yesterday but the police have asked for witnesses.
we 2 Jun 2010	Today Matthew we will be mostly localising the weather ... as always not as straight forward as it looks ... sorted, Woodbridge done ... Aldeburgh, Felixstowe, Halesworth ... that'll do for now.
fr 14 May 2010	Skimmers found this morning on cashpoints in Framlingham, Leiston and Aldeburgh ... so that's why a police car outside Barclays this am ... or not.
th 29 Apr 2010	The hustings last night in the Aldeburgh parish church organised and chaired by the Reverend Nigel Hartley in an ultimately neutral manner were not surprisingly very well mannered. Perhaps a little surprising the church was easily 7/8s full to see all five Coastal Suffolk candidates (and what a wonderful opportunity to see them in one hit) make a short pitch (the Rev had an apologetically polite time's up beeper) and then answer questions. We left after an hour but are assured all remained even tempered ... more pix
	That must have been quite a fire at the Aldeburgh boatyard yesterday morning, there's nothing left of the main boat shed. A bystander who was there told us that being a boat yard there were many gas bottles on the site. More pix on Facebook
mo 5 Apr 2010
mo 08 Mar 2010	House sales a bit quiet in Saxmundham and Aldeburgh.
we 13 Jan 2010	'Bitching and bickering' in Aldeburgh apparently, well that's democracy.
sa 2 Jan 2010	The inherent self righteousness of councils punctured when Suffolk Coastal sell the electoral roles for Aldeburgh and Framlingham for £26!
