Felixstowe TV

Last night, Tuesday 31st August 2010, saw the sad end of an enjoyable era. Yes The Bill screened it's last ever episode after some twenty-six remarkable years. Shame on ITV for ending one of the most popular series ever to be screened.

But wait....

There was another very sad event last night as well. The closure of the popular Felixstowe TV. Started six years ago by Chris Gosling who ran it for two tireless years, it passed to Giles Meehan and David Jennings who ran it up to the very end.

Sad because it was a tremendous platform for the people and events of Felixstowe to be recorded and enjoyed. Sad too, because Felixstowe TV was also responsible for throwing down the gauntlet to then secretary Dave Feakes for the Scribblers to write The Lost Sock, which was then filmed with the voluntary help from scores of local folk and businesses.

So why has Felixstowe TV closed? Well there was little financial support from local businesses to make it viable to continue and so the plug had to be pulled.

So from the Scribblers to all those involved with Felixstowe TV over the last fascinating six years, a sincere and heartfelt thankyou.
