Great newsletter Jamey! The information on events in Ipswich and surrounds is important.
Honestly, where has Ipswich Insider been all this time? Now my friends think I’m the Ipswich expert (def not).
Heaps better than Ipswich First – I always look forward to the iconic home story in the Wednesday email.
The Guess Where game is great fun – last week I got within 100 m, and Ipswich really needs more things like this.
See that 4:31 am open in your stats? That’s me – I never miss the trivia questions or what’s coming up.
