earlier Christmases

sa 24 Dec 2006	Rock & flippin' Roll! The 150 tickets sold out weeks before the gig, two tickets went on eBay for charity at four times their face value and then Saturday The Outlaws Christmas Party kicked off in a packed Framlingham White Horse, a raffle and the Herald Angel was there too.
fr 8 Dec 2006	New this year for the Street Fayre fairground rides giving the Market Hill a bustling, fun atmosphere. Permanent queues for Daddy C and next door the hit of the nativity was Muffin the donkey (surely named after Muffin the Mule) who caused much suppressed hilarity amongst the shepherds by being agricultural during the adoration. First time we've seen the swag stall triple handed, the Ladies of Barclays opted for the same cossies as last year, the Teddy Bear game was attracting patrons of the younger and feminine persuasion, and White Water were trying out for their Christmas Bash by growing to a quartet. Lots of people, particularly children, were having a lovely time.
su 10 Dec 2006	Yesterday's Flower Club Christmas do had a good crowd and PC Jeff Burt tells us the alleged attempted abduction in Fore Street Framlingham appears to have been a misunderstanding.
su 3 Dec 2006	A soggy start to to the Framlingham Annual Charity and Voluntary Organisations Christmas Market and Christmas Tree Lighting but it turned out bright, clear, crisp and on the edge of bloody cold for the Christmas Markets ... so definitely a hat day ... and Matt Bayfields's girlies made a cracking job of turning the lights on.
mo 23 Oct 2006	Very enjoyable free concert in Framlingham's St Michael's yesterday and if you can't get a ticket for The Outlaws' Christmas party then White Water's upcoming festive charity bash has four bands playing including that there Ed Sheraton.
sa 31 Dec 2005	We concede the conga line was not quite as long as last year but it was certainly more committed, lots of partying with hefty commitment (our word for the month) to fancy dress and La Macarena from the Crown and Anchor's patrons, full house at the Castle and yooves posing with community copper Andrea Honeywood.
fr 9 Dec 2005	Daddy Christmas (who's been on a diet) had queues to meet him whilst next door the ladies of Barclays were making cameras explode. On the Hill pony rides, carriages rides, people joining in the Morris dancing and children hyper active on a lifetime of E numbers deploying crazy string and stink bombs. We didn't get anything to eat because there was always a queue and you couldn't move in The Crown. A good crowd and a good night.
su 5 Dec 2005	Annual Charity and Voluntary Organisations Christmas Market, still trips off the tongue doesn't it? No rain, lots of stalls with the RNLI in lifejackets, a queue for Gosia's coffees, the Ipswich Hospital Band made jolly tootle, darkness started to fall and five year old George Smith made a perfect job of turning on the lights. Carols were sung and the Guides distributed their carrot and coriander soup and the councillors distributed the mince pies they'd brought and then ... everyone went home.
fr 17 Dec 2004	Brilliant! ... a juggler juggled, Tinker Bell waited tables in The Crown, not surprisingly Carley & Webb won the best dressed window, equally not surprisingly the donkey got a bit nervous, FAYAP sold out of soup ... twice, the queue for the burger stall just kept getting longer, a house fire was unintentional added excitement, the morris sided ... erhm ... sided, Church Street (where most of the stalls were) heaved, the Dame worked his socks off, SGR Black Thunder parked on the hill ... and that was that ... it parked on the hill .. maybe they think we don't have cars in Framlingham, Barclays failed to give away much mulled wine as people struggled to understand the concept of a bank giving something away ... Brilliant!!
we 1 Dec 2004	Hamlet tonight, tomorrow night, and the night after that at Framlingham College, and the Community Centre Trust raised £50 at the Christmas Lights Sunday bringing the total so far to £56,750.
su 28 Nov 2004	A little girl was amazed and intrigued by Felix, the volunteer firemen looked ill at ease being photographed, Chairperson Steph managed to ignite the Framlingham Christmas Tree lights by pressing two buttons at once whilst not thinking of the word rhinoceros ... allegedly. The Ipswich Hospital Band played, a large crowd sang carols, and free soup was distributed ... and what's more the soup was carrot and coriander not tomato!
