In excess of 100 people enjoyed celebrating the Queen’s birthday at St John’s Priory Park over the weekend, despite the great British summer proving challenging at times the army of helpers supporting the Residents Association done a fantastic job in ensuring everyone had a great time with plenty of stalls, food and drinks for all ages.

Last month over thirty residents were ‘messing about’ in boats on the River Stort. They cruised for about four hours and enjoyed a substantial picnic lunch organised by a stalwart group of volunteers. The boats were provided by Canalability which is a charity based on the river. A further 5 or so cruises have been arranged for Christmas, (the boats are heated) and early next summer.
