ntc digest - the Pygmalion one

The Sold Out audience at Roughcast Theatre's Pygmalion in the Wingfield Barns Sunday night were having a lovely time; laughing uproariously and Ooooohing when Eliza first appears in a posh dress.  Principals Scarlett Fisher as Eliza and Grant Filshill as the Prof were excellent and we look forward to the company's tour of Romeo and Juliet next summer.

BE WARNED  There's a Friday the thirteenth in December ... it can get worse.

♫ constellation (with a small c) is a very special intimate concert series by Pop Chorus who are choirs from seven towns around near the coast.  This Friday at Halesworth Cut and Saturday at St Joseph;s School Chapel Ipswich.

Tomorrow Suffolk raconteur Charlie Haylock at Chapel Hall Arts Fressingfield.

Police meet and greet 11:00am-12:00pm tomorrow in Low Street Hoxne.

Storm Bert yesterday shredded the Framlingham Station's PIZZA banner and now continues to blow today plus Andy Fordyce reports the Saxtead Green windmill was taking full advantage of the wind.

 JOB  East of England Co-op are recruiting a Deployment Assistant working overnight to deliver the instalment of Electronic Self Edge Labels ... no CV needed.

The barista where you can buy us a coffee is sportingly offering a short Americano with biscotti and dash of milk for just two pounds ...

Perhaps because of the 2028 Olympics it would seem flag football now has to be played on a 3G/4G artificial surface explaining the Iceni Spears tournament move to Long Stratton.  An impressive performance by the Spears with both offence and defence much improved.  Pix of visitors Nottingham Uni Gold v Green to follow.

We've joined Bluesky perhaps mostly for the very good reason that it's not owned by the android and Trump fanboy Elon Musk.  If you're so inclined say Hello at @nearthecoast.bsky.social

Reluctantly like the rest of the UK most of Suffolk adopted the Gregorian Calendar in 1752 but there is the anomaly that Framlingham town council thinks Christmas is in November.

The village doesn't support you?  Promote yourself on nearthecoast.

Darren Smith fishmonger on Framlingham market returned from a late holiday looking so healthy it was probably breaking one of the town council's many rules.  We much appreciate the coffees and mussels are still in season?

Regrettably after lengthy discussions and negotiations today's UEA Pirates v UCLU Emperors in Norwich was cancelled because the visitors did not have a suitably accredited coach on their sideline.

Worried too many people might turn up for your coffee morning?  Garden fete?  Swingers' party?  Don't do promotion on nearthecoast then.

Infrastructure works on the Victoria Mill Road Framlingham green aren't to do with the proposed development opposite.

The mention of Belgium confused us for a bit but it would seem power from the offshore of Suffolk wind farm will now land in Kent.

Suffolk Overheard:  "She did it a capella." "Oh, I don't like foreign food."

SRN Nearthecoast is in, doesn't feel the government has treated nurses fairly, is fiddling with her tick list and clicky pen but still listening at ntc@nearthecoast.com.

♫ Oh joy!  The line up for month end's Maverick Thanksgiving Ranch Party in Easton includes cajun band The Po' Boys and ntc supporter Ella Spencer ... cajun eh? ... there will almost certainly be dancing ...
