| Hi, I went to watch Aladdin Saturday and have to say was VERY impressed with both the standard of the panto and the effort that went into the performance. Aladdin him? herself was fantastic as was all the other cast both on and off stage. I will now be actively watching out for the drama groups other performances and total recommendation is accredited. Please could you pass my thanks on to all involved. ;') "WELL DONE TO ALL" |

I've just discovered a marvellous new site/facility. It's called Freecycle and it's a way to pass on unneeded, but usable things to prevent landfill housing perfectly good items. The idea is that you register with your local group so that anything you post is likely to be picked up quickly and easily. As the name suggests it is only for free things – those things we all have that we think ‘someone must want it – it's perfectly good, we've just no sue for it now'. I joined today and posted an outgrown girls cycle. Within a couple of minutes I'd been emailed and within the hour it had been picked up – it was rather like magic!! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Ipswich_Freecycle/ As you can see I'm rather excited by this as it will help my ongoing spring clean/clutter clear, not to mention making me feel a little better about being part of our consumer/acquisitive/throwaway society. (of course it works both ways so you may want to stock up on all sorts of free stuff yourselves). Apologies if this is of no interest to you, but I felt I needed to spread the word!! Best of luck, Marianne |

From Beverley Coleman, 1 August 2006 Recently I have recieved two 'suspect' clothing collection leaflets - claiming to provide jobs in the third world countries and providing affordable clothing for these people too. The latest company to 'hit'
Shotley is called Seabeach Ltd. This is NOT A BONA FIDE REGISTERED COMPANY. It previously ran under the name of Orellanna Ltd - who have been struck off the registered charity list. Seabeach are currently being investigated. These companies are breaking the law by obtaining goods by deception. Regards, |

| From Sharon Kennedy, 18 July 2006. Dear everyone. I was just wondering if any ramps were going to be fitted to our local shops in shotley? As a full-time wheelchair user I don`t use the local shops, as I can`t get access into them. Both shops have very big steps, and one is made even more awkward by a small ramp before the step. If I use my electric wheelchair I have to take my sticks, but it is often painful to walk. If i`m in my manual wheelchair I find it humiliating to ask to be lifted over the step, and so I just don`t bother at all. I went down with my Mother today and had to wait outside while she showed my sympathy cards until I chose one. Another local resident carries her own ramp around to enable herself to be able to get into the local shop. Will Shotley shops be having ramps soon to conform with the discrimination laws passed last year? I hope so. Sharon Kennedy. |
