This year’s Summer Reading Challenge is back in action at the library this year from 17th July! The theme is Wild World Heroes – a group of friends making their town even better for the people and animals that live there.

Wild World Heroes will feature amazing books, awesome rewards and plenty of ideas for taking care of our environment. Perfect for when Suffolk starts to open up again!

The challenge is open to all children – once they sign up, read six books over the summer holidays and collect a prize for each one from the library. If they complete the challenge, they’ll collect a certificate.

Saturday 31st July, 6pm – Local band East of the Sun will be performing in the open air in Elmhurst Park in the bandstand.

The band will bring us their varied repertoire of classic pop, rock, soul and country music.

Rachel Keveren is the voice of the band. She has performed in a couple of pantos with the Deben Players and has impersonated Billie Holliday, Judy Garland and Shirley Bassey in their production of Little Voice.

The guitarist is Chris Moore, a retired teacher with experience of playing in a country-duo, a blues band and a jazz big band. He is well-known locally having performed in The Crown and various Peninsula pubs.

The bass player Greg Walsh founded East of the Sun a couple of years ago and is also well known for his handyman skills: he is a leading light of the Woodbridge Repair Cafe.

Martin Minta is the band’s drummer whose musical memories range from Colchester Folk Club, a blues club in Bishops Stortford and Bluesville at Ipswich’s Manor Ballroom.
