Lowdown Creates Festival Hoedown

Lowestoft's culture zine, Lowdown, took a version of itself to FolkEast (August 17 – 20), and produced three editions in three days, plus a super-fast late-late Final, complete with a World Cup report!

Local community group #We Are Here Lowestoft (#WAHL) has had a significant influence on our MP, Peter Aldous, and on this government's response to the Climate Change Emergency.

The Government has been forcing through parliament its Levelling-Up and Regeneration Bill. Some intense lobbying of politicians over several years resulted in several important amendments being inserted. In a classic to-and-fro between the House of Commons and the House of Lords the amendments were removed in the Commons and re-instated in the Lords. 

North Lowestoft Men's Shed (aka NLMS) continues to consolidate its base. In this case, building a patio.

Using gravel-mesh as the patio base our next step is to spread gravel over it all. This will create a solid and secure surface on which to put our donated garden and chair set to catch the last of the summer sun.

We've also been donated high-quality kitchen cupboards by Lowestoft Tile Company in Wilde Street. A piece of work-surface has been attached to a metal table frame found abandoned in the High Street to create a work table.

We have a flag, too.

Some  of the work exhibits are a collaboration between Brigitte Quennehen and Debbie Baker.

They met through their sons who are part of The Fools Moon local Band.

Debbie began working 8 years ago. They thought it would be good to explore working together.

The result can be seen at the Mayfly Café as well as some of their individual work.

Great progress being made on community garden

Our Next book  

Get the book from: Moral of The Story Bookshop

The Polemical Brothers present your vinyl. The idea is a simple one. You bring your vinyl records. The Brothers play them. The equipment  - ie the needle and arm - is good. Use a post-it (c) note of the track you want played, as the Brother's memory is both inadequate and selective. In between your magic music, the Polemical Brothers will slip in some of their own choices from their enormous library. . . 

Milestones is resident at Hotel Hatfield, Esplanade, Lowestoft and opens its doors at 7pm on the first Sunday of every month with an admission price of usually £14
