Ipswich

mo 2 Jul 2018	We weren't optimistic about yesterday's Ipswich Cardinals v London Blitz B because the Cards had lost 55-00 to the Blitz earlier this year. In the event on a roastingly hot day (thankfully with a breeze) the Cards led 10-00 for most of the game. Finally the Blitz offence broke out (they'd been threatening to do it all game) to score two ... more here

Saturday in chronological order, Worlingworth Car Show, Playford Hall Open Day and in the evening and Aldeburgh Cinema Bill Nighie will do a Q&A after a showing of The Bookshop.
th 14 Jun 2018	Following a 55-00 loss against London Blitz B the weekend before last the Ipswich Cardinals american football continued a now 3-1 winning season after a 42-06 win over visitors Maidstone Pumas last weekend who despite being much outnumbered stuck at it good humouredly.
fr 8 Jun 2018	The Ipswich Cardinals may have lost their away game at London Blitz B on Sunday but their 2-1 season so far is still an encouraging improvement on the last couple of years. The Cards' first home game of the season 2:30pm kick off this Sunday.
su 20 May 2018	Yesterday at the Ipswich Inspire Kent Men's Roller Derby v East Anglo Smacksons and Suffolk Roller Derby v Dorset Knobs (it's a kind of biscuit).
fr 18 May 2018	Things to do tomorrow include a Maker's Market in the Framlingham Unitarian, the Large Model Association's Air Show at Tibenham (it's over the border nearish to Long Stratton) and men's British Championship roller derby at Inspire Ipswich.
th 17 May 2018	♫ This Saturday the organ festival in Diss (including The Grange Musical Collection) sounds good fun, pity it clashes with roller derby in Ipswich.
th 19 Apr 2018	Silly we know but we rather took against the silliness of the Baghdaddies' name, but Rob after seeing them in Ipswich kept speaking very highly of them. They are back at the Manor Ballroom tomorrow evening, thank you Peppery Productions. ♫
su 15 Apr 2018	At the end of last season with minutes to go a one point kick would have put the Ipswich Cardinals into overtime against the Essex Spartans ... they went for two and didn't make it. At the start of this season ... more here
sa 14 Apr 2018	Tomorrow afternoon in Stowmarket professional wrestling including a womens' three way and in the evening Wes Weston's Bluesonics at the California Social Club Ipswich, reckon you could probably take both in. ♫
th 15 Feb 2018	This all sounds a bit Police Interceptors, in the very early hours this morning a shop burglary in Melton, a car chase and finally a burnt out car in Ipswich.
mo 12 Feb 2018	Blimey! The Ipswich Wolsey are already punting next winter's Christmas panto?
su 28 Jan 2018	♫ You don't have to be pretentious (though it might help) to enjoy opera especially the comedies. In April the excellent English Touring Opera return to the Snape Maltings with The Marriage of Figaro and much nearer Thursday OperaUpClose present a stripped down modern The Magic Flute at the Ipswich Wolsey.
we 17 Jan 2018	Who would have thought it? There are two hockey teams in Ipswich, SEVEN and East. Sunday the ladies second teams were derbying next to the Ipswich Cardinals practice. SEVEN won two nil and it was preceded by something that involved loud(ish) pop music but we couldn't give it much attention as we needed to avoid being flattened by american footballers.
sa 13 Jan 2018	Sometime in the early nineties we went to the National Cyclocross Championships in the woods by Ipswich's speedway track ... it was a low key event. In 1983 we went to the World Cyclocross Championships in Birmingham ... it was a low key event. The 2018 national championships are in Sunderland and being streamed by the BBC live tomorrow ... perhaps not so low key.
fr 5 Jan 2018	In total a squall of six burglaries today and yesterday in Ipswich, Melton and Martlesham. Officers are investigating if they are linked.
tu 31 Oct 2017	Disagreement on the Internet about the postcode for Chantry Park Ipswich but we did find it in time to attach ourselves to the last wave of halloweeners for St Elizabeth Hospice's Who's Afraid of the Park? We immediately got detached from the wave by stopping to snap a frightener in the debilitating blackness. Plenty of scary Miss Havisham type brides (including a genuinely ghostly pair) ... and we did jump a good few times:)
