Great Glemham

Welcome back to advertiser Parham Airfield Museum (halfway between Parham and Great Glemham) which re-opened last month for the summer season.  It's well worth the trip being free entry, still has the original control tower and an excellent cafe.

Saturday artist and Rendham resident Maggi Hambling will again open the Alde Valley Spring Festival in Great Glemham.  At previous openings Ms Hambling has been highly entertaining (especially the aglet/Michael Gambon story) and given a faintly surrealist edge as she spoke from the raised bucket of a JCB.

Richard Nichols wants you to know that though the Great Glemham Crown is  FOR SALE  it's looking very presentable.

It was our first visit to the Great Glemham village hall Saturday for the Alde Valley Players Mistletoe & Wine.  In the first half Katy sang beautifully to digital accompaniment, acapella quintet from Snape Five in a Bar prompted toe tapping with a sleigh bell accompanied Christmas standard but the triumph of the half was Merry Berry cake baking assisted by a two litre bottle of vodka (from Waitrose of course).  We l♥ved the conceit at the intermission that the food was dropped by the passing air ambulance (who were to benefit from the evening) and served elvishly in Christmas stockings to a full house.

Saturday night in Great Glemham the Alde Valley Players present Mistletoe & Wine an evening of comedy songs and sketches in support of the East Anglian Air Ambulance ... shaming to government of any colour that the air ambulance is a charity.

stretchy and The Glemham Crown picked up a fave within minutes of each other today.

Disheartening, the Great Glemham Crown has closed again, that may not even be a year.

In aid of the church and with a children's treasure hunt 12:00-5:00pm tomorrow open gardens in Great Glemham.

The Great Glemham Crown wants @Jaydubblah to know they have wheelchair access from the car park and to the toilets.

Gordon Thorburn points out the Great Glemham Crown re-opened months ago and we're told by Ivan it's decent and not expensive beer ... and sort of related the Cretingham Bell has just re-opened.

With its overgrown garden, flower beds and hanging baskets, boarded up windows

and doors, and two large concrete blocks across the entrance to the car park the Great Glemham Crown is looking very sorry for itself.

Mobiles, tvs, laptops and jewellery stolen in Great Glemham Thursday morning and three Woodbridge men arrested for offences including Dennington burglaries.

We've been told the Crowfield Rose has been closed for over a year and the Great Glemham Crown has been shut for months.

Tomorrow the Great Glemham village hall film is A Man For All Seasons.

Glemham Crown  des' dinners 78    10th Anniversary 

Lunchers were Roger and Margaret, Mr and Mrs Gentleman Plumber, Goddess, Amanda and Ron, Tony M and NaTCH.  Earl Soham and Adnam's beers on offer but the young barmaid seemed unaware live beer should be pulled through before serving and my Fullers London Pride was a bit dodgy ... Roger complained and from then on the beer was fine.  Conversation about how well Goddess was looking after a very serious illness and Ron pointed out the brick built dovecote visible across the road.  AfARs were received but can't find them at the mo'.  (last visit  previous lunch)

The Suffolk archive film festival running through October and November includes Peasenhall, Stonham Aspel, Great Glemham and Rendham.

A handbag, wallet, mobile and a purple fleece were some of the things stolen from two Peugeots in Great Glemham Sunday afternoon and the rabbits seem to be getting a bit cute (cute clever that is not dying their fur blonde and using makeup cute) in Little Glemham.

Great Glemham has got one of those "no cash" telephone boxes like Parham.

A massed greyhound walk 11am this morning at the Woodland Trust near Great Glemham and the Framlingham Habeas Corpus last night party last night had a plot driven cake.

Great Glemham Crown  des' dinners 13

An atypically sunny day for our first Anniversary!  John B, Malcolm, NaTCH, Spadge and Andy enjoyed well presented food, Greene King IPA (Speckled Hen also on offer), and pleasant staff.  The car park was full at 1pm and the other customers were a more mixed bunch than the last time we visited.  An awful lot of the conversation was inexplicably about watches.  Pressure of business meant that Malcolm had to leave without a pudding.  AfAR from Hugh (skiing) and John FH (too far, too busy).  Birthday greetings received from Clive and Richard.  (last visit ↓  subsequent lunch  previous lunch)

Great Glemham Crown  des' dinners 1

The first des' dinners.  Attendees Andy, John B and NaTCH.  The pub was pleasant enough if a bit anodyne.  The other customers seemed primarily retired folks who eat early and left early.  Some conversation was a little self consciously about 'business' and John's pursuit of a boiler for the new brewery.  (first visit  subsequent lunch)
