Bredfield

Police Direct reporting flooded roads around Bredfield, Debenham, Helmingham, Melton, Otley, Stowmarket and Woodbridge ... bad enough that Victoria from the Framlingham Bookshop gave up trying to get from Stowupland to Fram this morning.

The Plomesgate CC who organise the grass track at Bredfield have pointed out that the bowls club bolted their fete on to their bike racing.

Bolted onto the Bredfield bowling club fete last weekend was bicycle grass track racing.  Unlike its hard track brother not much messing about, the strong man immediately goes off the front and that's pretty much the end of it, but the handicaps do tend to have a heaving mass come together on the last bend and at this meeting unusually trikes as well.  All sizes and all ages racing and excellent home made cakes being sold from the back door of the shop on the end of the village hall for just 50p, we'll be back next year.  More pix on Facebook.

Two mountain bikes stolen in Parham and you'd think velvet, satin and feathers would be a bit glam for a Sunday in Bredfield wouldn't you?

Bredfield's larger than you think; it's got a pub, a shop and a village hall.  In the hall this afternoon both cast and crew, as is the Eastern Angles way, were setting up for Cuckoo Teapot tonight.  They're playing Bradfield tomorrow and you can see the potential for cock up in the two place names.

The Eastern Angles take Cuckoo Teapot out on tour next week starting Wednesday and Thursday in Saxmundham.  Over the next three months venues will include Eye, Brandeston, Bredfield, Westleton, Hacheston, Woodbridge and Orford.  Take them in before the blue meanie Arts Council finish them off.
