Stradbroke Library There’s a spine-tingling adventure waiting for children when they take part in the Summer Reading challenge this year. They can join our adventures as they explore the CREEPY HOUSE, simply by reading 6 books over the summer holidays from the library. They can discover the secrets of the CREEPY HOUSE and meet some of the hair-raising residents. Are you brave enough to explore ‘The Awful Upstairs’, ‘The Gruesome Ground Floor and ‘The Spine-tingling Cellar’??? There are CREEPY bookmarks, stickers, keyrings and fridge magnets to collect as you progress through the game. For all those who finish the CREEPY HOUSE challenge, there will be a presentation of medals and certificates at our party in September! BE THERE IF YOU DARE…. Maureen John, Library Manager

StradJazz Presents - Stradbroke Jazz Day Saturday 5th October 2013 Stradbroke Community Centre, 12pm onwards To all StradJazz friends and fans… I am putting on a one day Jazz Festival in Stradbroke. As before it will be in the Community Centre. I’m sorry there was no festival last year as many of you will be aware Ann was very ill and sadly passed away in January this year. Ann had done so much for the Jazz Festival over the last 12 ears, this one day festival is to raise funds for St Elizabeth Hospice, Ipswich, where Ann spent her last few weeks. We also hope to raise some money for the Stradbroke Court House & Library Trust, which she helped to keep going through think and thin. We have some great bands lined up for your pleasure, some very fine home cooked food and some very real ale. The bar will be open all day, there is easy parking, local B & Bs available and free camping for motorhomes and caravans. Tickets will be £20 each in advance or £25 on the day. Tickets can be bought online, in person at the Library or by post - Hazelnut House, Queen Street, Stradbroke IP21 5HH Tel Bob on 07585 959402 or Maureen on 07599 537405. eMail info@stradjazz.net For more information about the line up and to purchase tickets online, go to www.stradjazz.net Bob Kerr
