You may not be a frequent Centre user […]

On December 3rd we planted another 100 trees kindly donated by two local landowners. It really does look like a Woodland now, on land belonging to Adrian Lawson, albeit in the infant stage! The Stradbroke Oak stands proudly in the centre with larger trees along the permissive path thanks to the generous grants from The […]

Thank you to everyone who ventured out in the rain on Sunday to help plant approximately 400 trees as part of the Queen’s Green Canopy Woodland. Despite the rain an empty field was transformed in less than 2 hours and will become a wonderful place for all to enjoy in years to come. Special thanks to Luke Heydon for his expert advice and hard work on the day and to Jane Merritt who did all the planning in advance and a bit of work on the day! We must also thank Rattlerow Farms for permitting use of their land. A few images of the workers can be seen in the Gallery.

The women’s final between England and Germany will be screened live in the Stradbroke Community Centre on Sunday afternoon. Doors open at 4pm, kick-off at 5pm.

 Due the adverse weather forecast for tomorrow a decision has been taken to move the event into the Community Centre. Radio Stradbroke will still be playing from 11am, the WI will be serving exquisite teas and cakes, and from 2.30 we will be showing the Jubilee Pageant live on the big screen. Unfortunately the BBQ […]

  The 550 mile torch relay around Suffolk started in Brandon on Friday and will be passing through Stradbroke on Thursday 22nd May at approximately 9.50am. Maria Smith is the chosen representative for Stradbroke but we’re not sure if Maria will be running or taking it easy in the Rickshaw. 

The results of the survey about the extension to the Centre and all comments received have now been published and can be viewed here. No decision will be made about the way forward until a meeting has been held with the Parish Council to determine their views and support.

The first 2 months of 2021 saw above average rainfall as we probably all new. If we follow a similar pattern to last year then maybe we will be in for some dry weather when we’re allowed out again! You can download the spreadsheet or view a pdf
