This blog post was kindly written by Christopher Aldous. They say a week is a long time in politics, but as a Col Utd fan a week is also an enormous amount of time too. As described in my previous post, Monday saw the departure of John Ward from Col Utd. On the same day [...]

This piece was first published in the Colchester United programme yesterday. A fortnight is a long time in football. We’re sure that updates in this programme will touch upon an eventful two weeks for Col U. But what about elsewhere around the town? We recently had a visit from one of life’s great survivors. Nope [...]

To firstsite! …on Saturday afternoon and whaddya know – both artist and audience arrived on time. The occasion was the talk by Anthea Hamilton, the current exhibitor at the Golden Goose with Sorry I’m Late. Timing is everything here. The Chronic was right on cue with an ill-timed gag with the geezer sitting to our [...]

And so at the end of the week where we blogged about how brilliant the new Lakeside Theatre website is – whaddyaknow: the offline print publication for the autumn schedule up on campus comes through the letterbox of The Chronic.

Hey Sunny Colch! The Sunday afternoon weather forecast is looking like The Chronic could *possibly* become a cropper under the Trade Descriptions Act. So y’know what? Best stay indoors.

It’s the blog post that keeps on appearing – yep, time for another update about the ACE Colchester 24 project. Hurrah! For a photographic exercise that was all about focussing on a single 24-hour period, it is quite fitting that we are still blogging about the event almost twelve months later. There’s a lotta love [...]

Tell you what – they don’t hang about these Sunny Colch filmmakers. With the ACE Colchester Film Festival 48 Hour Challenge having wrapped up only last weekend, the first films are now starting to appear online. As if spending your entire weekend crafting some superb hyperlocal film shorts wasn’t demanding enough, the editing and turn [...]

Here’s a great hyperlocal story coming out of Sunny Colch that should help to inspire and motivate: The Robin Cancer Trust has officially been given charitable status by the Charities Commission. Hurrah! Now proudly being ale to include the all-important Registered Charity 1114899 across all communications, the RCT has come a mighty long way since [...]

Burlesque. Blimey. Who knew that Britain’s Oldest Recorded would have such a love affair with the classy girls that like to seductively show off the female form? Um… We never doubted it all along. Which brings us back to the brilliant Helles Belles burlesque troupe and the return of the fab four to the Judge [...]

A couple of stories coming out of Old Heath: something old, something new – but most definitely not blue. This is the heart of the Sunny Colch LibDem territory, dontchaknow. Ha, bloody ha. But it is something of an all round inclusive invitation from our friends @firstsite for any residents in the Old Heath area [...]
