Community Pay Back project featured in Evening Star: The Trust has engaged the services of “Community Payback” (Suffolk Probationary Services) who have agreed to a 6 month project to spruce up, tidy and paint the site. This represents a meaningful scheme for “Community Payback”, whereby offenders can make amends. It helps preserve a cherished Ipswich landmark and helps us demonstrate to IBC that the public cares deeply about the fate of the pool. PLEASE SUPPORT THE BROOMHILL POOL TRUST. You can now donate on line using our PAY PAL account. Your contributions will allow the Trust to buy materials for the clean up; and to ensure that the case and business plan for the restored facility is watertight.
May I, on behalf of the Broomhill Pool Trust, thank the generous customers of ASDA Ipswich, who during the weekend of 25/26 April contributed over £650 towards the Trust’s fighting funds! We would also like to thank the wonderful management and staff of ASDA for allowing us to conduct a collection at their superstore, along with all their kind support and assistance. The Trust is currently engaged in a joint project team with Ipswich Borough Council to explore all options for the iconic grade 2 listed lido. The “all options appraisal” and its recommendations will be presented to IBC Executive in late summer. The Trust has also engaged the services of “Community Payback” (Suffolk Probationary Services) who have agreed to a 6 month project to spruce up, tidy and paint the site. This represents a meaningful scheme for “Community Payback”, whereby offenders can make amends. It helps preserve a cherished Ipswich landmark and helps us demonstrate to IBC that the public cares deeply about the fate of the pool. These generous contributions come at a critical time. They allow the Trust to buy materials for the clean up; and to ensure that the case and business plan for the restored facility is watertight. Janet Adams
“HALFWAY TO HEAVEN” “…The hewl town is full of ghosts…” James Sharpe’s much anticipated, first feature length film has just reached completion. James has gained cult status in his home town, with a succession of short length films offering more twists than John Sergeant. Filmed with less than a shoestring, Sharpe pulled in favours, bribes and naked photographs, assembling a cast of established talent - Mark Killeen (Rise of the Footsoldier), Lisa Armytage (Neighbours) James Fisher (The Zombie Diaries) - mixed with raw new talent - James Lacey, Peter Barfield, etc. Written, filmed, produced, edited and given birth by James, the plot is Fantasy Romance with comedy. A man is visited by God. She tells him he will be spending time at a "halfway house" when dead….until she can make up her mind about where to put him. While in his suburban limbo he meets others in the same situation of which one could be the "Girl of his dreams", they plan to spend eternity together but God has other plans. A true independent “Brit-flick” filmed in and around Ipswich (including Broomhill Pool). Cast Andy: James Lacey ABOUT JAMES SHARPE James was born in Ipswich in 1972 and lived there 25 years before moving to Elstree, Boreham Wood where he began making films.
