At Waldringfield Primary School, near Woodbridge, pupils had a non
uniform day - where they wore something red - and performed a mile
long conga around the village.
Headteacher Sarah Wood said: “The whole community came out to
support us. It was fantastic, the children really enjoyed it.”

Professional theatre returns to
Waldringfield
Eastern Angles
will be presenting their new spring production
"The Long Way Home"
by Charles Way and directed by Naomi James
on Tuesday 23rd March in
Waldringfield Village Hall
Using music, puppetry and traditional storytelling techniques to
bring this folktale to life.
The story centres on a spirited old woman and her pilgrimage across
country back to the seaside village of her childhood. As she treks
across the land the ‘old mother’ meets an abandoned dog-boy and a
tender friendship is forged. On the way, the two companions
encounter a series of strange and unsettling characters - a
distraught mother, a proud farmer, dangerous bandits and ghosts
from the past - all fighting their own personal battles.
Charles Way is an award-winning writer of over thirty plays.
Eastern Angles audiences will remember his wonderfully atmospheric
play In The Bleak Midwinter which toured the East of England back
in 2000.
The Long Way Home is directed by Naomi Jones whose record-breaking
2009 Spring Tour Return To Akenfield came to Waldringfield and
gained glowing reviews from The Guardian and The Times.
Why not invite some friends and make up a party? And do book in
good time – last year’s Eastern Angles visit was a sell-out.

Black & White Productions in association
with Bawdsey Radar Trust will bring their latest production to
Waldringfield
FIRST IN THE FIELD
The Secrets of Orfordness, Bawdsey and Radar
A new play by Suzanne Hawkes
Village Hall Tues 4th May 7.30pm
An Island of Secrets – rumours of a Death Ray – strange towers
rising above the Manor - flashing lights in the dead of night and
the ever present threat of invasion. Will life for the villagers of
Orford and Bawdsey ever be the same again? And will the boffins
come up with a workable plan before the Luftwaffe start their
bombing raids in earnest?
Based on written records of the boffins and the oral history of
those who worked with them as assistants and radar operators,
ferrymen and security guards, this play will dramatise the events
leading up to the Battle of Britain as seen through their eyes, and
the struggle to develop a working defence chain of radar stations
before the threat of German invasion became reality.
Black & White Productions are a community touring theatre
company who focus on local history. Their previous performances at
Waldringfield include: Mr Dickens – Public Lives Private Passions,
and Refugee Cafe
