In this appeal to keep the Cretingham Bell open Gilbert Sills comments he has drunk there ever since the pub opened in 1967.  Shome mishstake shurely but no, The Brewer confirms it was a row of cottages that became The Bell in 1967, the previous pub was opposite what was the post office ... pretty much the story of villages everywhere then ...

A mountain bike found in Ufford Saturday afternoon has been handed in to police and a lawnmower and strimmer were stolen from a Cretingham garage Wednesday afternoon last week ... a white van was seen in the area.

Never too old to be naughty in Cretingham and someone doesn't like football in Wickham Market.

A FREE posh telly in the Cretingham area (well it would be wouldn't it?) and what sounds like a posh bloke (dressed for shooting and two Labs) acting like a hoody in Southwold.

Recent local house sales have included Charsfield, Cretingham and Hoo.

Yesterday's Cook Cup at Cretingham Golf Club is a yearly event enabling Mark Cook (singer with The Outlaws) to celebrate his birthday with a golf tournament.  Awards include longest drive, nearest the pin and last pair get to wear the hula hula outfit (blond hula hula girls?)  (As it is entirely possible that your partner has never played before last place does not necessarily reflect on a competitor's ability.)

Tonight fifteen ladies and one gent are receiving at the Cretingham Golf Club variously certificates, badges and clasps for their contribution to the Royal British Legion Poppy Day.

Six patio heaters taken and some vandalism in Cretingham, a paint stripper vendetta against Audis in Woodbridge and a 14ft trailer pinched off Parham 'Drome.

Tomorrow night Jazz and Steak at the Cretingham Bell.

The Friends of that lovely little church St Peter's, Cretingham who brought you classical guitarist Jukka Savijoki are promoting a big band dance at Cretingham Golf Club (not Brandeston Village Hall) this Saturday.

The Cretingham Golf Club was packed for the Framlingham in the Flesh calendar launch and though we didn't actually get to see a calendar judging by the slide show it's a funny and clever piece of work.  Impressive commitment from  the Solar staff and other Fram folks including a naked woman (understandably standing up in the stirrups) riding a giant white horse on the Castle Meadow ... and oh yes, Mark The Perk told us last week's Carwash raised £500 for FAYAP.

Steph was persuaded to join John B, NaTCH and your belated scribe Spadge by a ride in the new Spadgemobile, understandably she was unable to resist the tarmac-rippling 56bhp and supreme handling of a Suzuki Alto.  Conversation was somewhat muted on arrival as the passengers recovered from such a stimulating ride but then, though the chaps behaved better than usual, there were some large guffaws.  The only disappointment was that it had to end because the evil capitalists that are Steph's employers insisted that she return to work before their fancy food establishment closed for the day. - Spadge  (last visit ↓  subsequent visit  previous visit)
