Thanks to our outgoing sponsor Jackie's Coffee Bar in Bridge Street.  Despite the weather we had the full English there this morning with scrambled eggs, one slice toast, one slice fried, large coffee and two glasses of water.  Lovely!  Welcome back to incoming (and returning) sponsor Bayfields who amongst many other things manage the Hachfest web site.

The Town Clerk's monthly report is its usual interesting read; there's a waiting list for allottments.

Quite jealous of our retiring sponsor Brandeston Hall, they seem to have such a lovely time there. 

The empty sponsor slot has been taken up by the Lion's Den at the top of Church Street and though the name hasn't changed it's no longer antiques but now an Ice Cream Parlour and Coffee Shop you can expect to be open on Sundays.

Find out what you missed at last night's Annual Parish Meeting and three days late because we didn't have our mobile phone switched on the Go Cart results.

Tonight for the first time Film @ Fram will be in the Con Club so you can grab a drink, a game of snooker and before the film an already reasonably priced meal at 10% off.

Unofficially we hear this very professional looking blue jobbie won yesterday's gravity racing on the Market Hill.  The racing was a great success with spectators getting sufficiently involved to cheer!  Brilliant stuff.

We are blessed.  At last night's town council meeting Steph Bennell, Kevin Coe and Richard Parlone were re-elected (and as far as we could see unanimously) as chairman, vice-chairman and finance chairman for another year.  The committees now go away and at their meetings elect a committee chairman.  The police report is here.

New left side sponsor Arts Framlingham have their programme out for next month's festival.  Obvious bill toppers are the Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain, we saw them last year at Easton and they were very funny, more than one joke, could swing like a slapper's handbag and we fell in love with Hester ... though not as much as Miss Olga.  We'll also being looking forward to Mouth to Mouth's Merry Wives of Windsor on the lawns of Red House Farm, perhaps it will look as gorgeously lush as their Mid Summer's Night Dream last year.

If you didn't get your Town Guide last weekend you can collect it from the Town Council office or the Library ... our new sponsor gets some kind words on the NTC board and the new sponsor next week will be The Lion's Den at the top of Church Street which has transmogrified from antiques into an ice cream parlour!

Remember Vic and Mary Stanbrook cycling the 3,750 miles and seven countries of the North Sea Cycle Route in 2006?  Bernie Friend who is from Southend (but we won't hold that against him) rode it solo and then wrote a book about it.

How's the soap box building going?  Remember the rules specify a minimum height so the driver probably won't be allowed to lay flat on his projectile.  Racing is 2-4pm Sunday and The Market Hill and Church St will be closed to traffic but cars will still have access to the Castle and Double St by two way working in Castle Street.  During practice before the racing local residents will be shepherded through by the marshals.

We're uploading plans and info about the outline planning application for the Bibby's site here.

The clock seems to be ticking here faster than you realise.  Comment to Suffolk Coastal District Council has to be in by the Tuesday after next that's 13th May.

What was Vanilla in Well Close Square will be opening Monday as Charlie Bear Children's Wear and they are sponsoring us, how very perceptive of them.  Thanks to outgoing sponsor the equally perceptive Victoria at the bookshop.

It's the Town Council Annual Meeting next Thursday, that's the one where the chairman and vice-chairman get elected for the next twelve months.  The agenda's here.

Hopkins Homes have lodged an outline planning application for 140 dwellings (dwellings not houses) and it seems to include everything except a jacuzzi and a casino.

Are you building a soap box for the May Day Madness?

Apologies for the site being a bit wobbly, we're having to make some changes to keep up with the modern world.

tu 22 Apr

St George's Day tomorrow so expect the flag on St Michael's and Thursday a chance to see the Fox Fritillary Meadow in Framsden.

sa 19 Apr

Leo's Deli (hidden away behind the Indian restaurant at the top of the Market Hill) are celebrating two years in Fram by becoming our new sponsors.

Thanks to outgoing sponsors Trace Your Ancestors who also now have the second enterprise Painting On Glass ... next available sponsorship 5th May.

The Hastoe Housing Association is planning twelve new houses in Kings Avenue with priority to local people.  There's an open meeting about it at the end of the month.

There's already some eight entrants for the gravity racing.

Minutes of the Community Centre Trust SGM last Friday available on the NTC bulletin board, copy deadline for next month's Framfare today and from seven to eight this evening the Cub Scouts will be picking up litter around Fram, good for them!

Just a few more weeks to soap box racing on the Market Hill, can't wait.

The Fram First Responders' recruitment drive today (supported by SGR Black Thunder [that's the crew below]) has netted a new responder and lots of interest.

Don't know what happened at the Community Centre Trust SGM yesterday?

Oh dear, the planning agenda is for NEXT Tuesday's planning meeting, last month's town council committee reports available and what do you think about a sandwich service in Fram?

Car parts stolen Tuesday night in Station Road.
