Capel Ladies’ first meal out this year was a trip to The Red Lion in East Bergholt, where we filled the dining room with noise and bustle. Luckily this didn’t fluster the staff at all, and we were made to feel welcome whilst all our meals were served piping hot and without a fuss. Everyone was pleased with their choice of food and there was a jolly atmosphere throughout the evening. Be warned, Red Lion – we may well return!

An Evening with Pam Ayres – Mercury Theatre, Colchester
On the same evening a Capel Ladies splinter group went on a theatre trip to the Mercury Theatre, Colchester, to see Pam Ayres in her one-woman show. They too had a good night and thoroughly enjoyed themselves.
Meal at the Red Lion, East Bergholt. Thursday 19th March, 7.30pm start.
Phil Hadwen gave us a very entertaining talk at our March meeting on the History of Felixstowe. What made it special were all the old black-and-white photos of Felixstowe in the past 150 years, many of them taken by local photographers the Emeny brothers, who had a studio in a two-storey wooden hut in the Walton area.
