Woodbridge Town Council presents ‘Car Free Day – Woodbridge Unclogged’


WOODBRIDGE Town Council is banning cars from the


main streets in town


(Thoroughfare, Quay Street, Church Street and the top part of Cumberland Street) on Saturday 21st September from 11am.


As one of our Climate


Emergency initiatives we want to show residents and visitors alike just what a pedestrianised Woodbridge would feel like. So, our retailers will spill out into the street and we’ll have a range of fun things for the


family to enjoy. Please come and join us! The Mayor of Woodbridge Eamonn O’Nolan said, “Roads and streets are just as much a part of the public domain as parks and open spaces. On our first Car-free Day, we want to work with community groups to fill the streets, let the kids run free, and just enjoy our wonderful town in a new way. Car-free Woodbridge is part


of the World Car-Free Day movement - who knows where this will lead?”

Rainbows bring ‘cups of kindness’


to Winifred Fison House


ON a sunny Saturday in June, the two Woodbridge (St Mary’s) Rainbow Units potted up some planters and scattered wildflower seeds at Winifred Fison House in Melton. They were joined


and the front entrance was transformed


by residents, with lots of


colourful blooms. The girls also gave ‘thinking


cups of kindness’ – a flower with a poem, in a pot decorated with bright squares, just like Elmer, the Elephant.

proposes to close the Caterpillar Children's Centre in Cumberland Street. This

The festival has a strong community element ecological

THIS year’s Melton Bowls Club Invitation Tournament,


sponsored by


The Cake Shop, Woodbridge, produced one of the closest contests for several years. The winners, were Darrell Howard and Mark Baker from the host club, who finished with a great last game to go clear of the chasing pairs with 93 points. Eric Titshall and Mel Saggers took second spot with 81 points and Barry and Doreen Clamp just 2 points further behind in third place. The tournament,


which


attracted a full complement of 28 pairs, is played using Australian rules and a progressively


increasing


Pairs


points system. This has proved so popular that the event has become a firm favourite in the tournament calendar. With all of the teams having


just one game remaining, the lead was held by the Howard and Clamp pairs, both on 55 points closely followed by 14 other pairs all within 14 points of the leaders. The result of the tournament hinged on whether the leaders would slip up in their final games. Saggers and Titshal, who were back in eleventh place, before their last game had a superb win over Ken Wright, picking up 37 points to set the field a target of 81 points. Graham Martin and Barry


Clamp both had good wins against Bill Moss and Duncan Frost respectively but not quite good enough to catch Saggers. Both finished equal on 79 points with Clamp taking third place overall on count back. Howard and Baker had an even better win over Keith Thornley, winning six of the seven ends and carding a total of 38 points to put them well ahead at the finish.


After the games were completed,


the tournament


organiser, Peter Moyes presented prizes to the first, second and third placed pairs.
