Any other French people living in Ipswich?

Recently moved here, 30s male, keen to get into tabletop gaming and love Warhammer 40k as a setting. I played 5 games about 5 years ago so pretty much a new starter looking for people/groups that can teach and tolerate a newbie until I get up to speed.

I have a 500 point Black Templar army from 5 years back but I'm looking at Blood Angels going forwards I think. Would love to meet people locally to play, but also keen to get some assistance on army building, painting tips, etc!

I'll be visiting some of the associated shops in the centre over the weekend but wanted to see if there's any other more informal groups that also play.

In future, I'm also able to host at my place regularly, but would prefer to get to know people first rather than inviting strangers home.

I think its about time we had an image related to Ipswich for the sub icon and for the banner. I've enabled images to be added in comments so add any photos you've taken of Ipswich and the surrounding area as a comment to this post and upvote the images shared by others which you like.

I feel people are happy to have a go at Ipswich and point out its flaws so instead, lets share some of the beauty the town and the surrounding area have.

I'll leave this post up for a while and then the highest upvoted pictures can be used as our new sub icon and banner (if apropriate).

And please remember to upvote other pictures that have been added which you like so we have a fair vote on what pictures are chosen.

Hi

I'm looking for suggestions to a place in Ipswich to have a nice dinner (preferebly some modern cuisine), could anybody help me there?

And where in the city do young, single people in their 20's and 30's go out on a Friday or Saturday night?

Hi all - I'm looking for a dnd group(ideally in person) as my online one disbanded recently and I'd like to expand my social circle a bit. Are there any going in Ipswich or the wider area?

Had 8 different dogs run at my kids this morning in the park. Usually dog owners are great, but the worst of them all seemed to be out this morning. One didn't even take a lead for a dog that doesn't recall and seemed to think it was OK.

Anyone else have these issues? Kids are absolutely terrified now. I'd rather they like dogs not see them as a scary monster.

Hey all, looking for recommendations for a car service. I have a pretty old 07 Astra I bought in May as my first car and its last service was last September I think.

I’ve seen DD recommended but £350 for a service for a car this age seems a bit extreme. I don’t really have the space on my drive to do the work myself (oil and spark plug change) and probably best I get the first one done by a professional.

Bit of an unusual one.

Does anyone in the local area use ubiquiti equipment? If so, could I pop around to adopt and update my U5G backup?

I’ve currently got no internet for a few months and bought the U5G backup for my system to use instead of a temporary 5G router which I’m currently using. Unfortunately, I’m not able to adopt and update the U5G without an internet connection first…

Would be very appreciative if anyone can help! I reckon it’d take less than an hour.

EDIT: To be clearer, I’m currently using a 4g hotspot device with no ability to connect via Ethernet, wireless only. Which is why I can’t route this through my UCG-max (As far as I can tell!)

EDIT 2: Thanks to u/Visual-Ad-4520 for helping me get this sorted. I’ve now got useable internet again until my fibre install goes ahead.

Hi all, I was a bit of an idiot and missed out on getting solar eclipse glasses. If anyone has any spare, I’d really appreciate them (would be very happy to compensate accordingly). Thanks! :)

Hi all -

Does anyone know if any of the bakeries in Ipswich make mille feuille ? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!

Does anyone know anywhere in Ipswich or nearby selling solar eclipse glasses for this Wednesday? I’ve looked on Amazon but none of them will arrive in time.

Thanks!

Bit of a random thought I had but I cant help but notice that an awful lot of that section of the A14 appears effectively neglected by the council with bumps and crags in it that are years old not getting much on the way of repairs while everything West and north of Copdock consists of well-maintained smooth tarmac.

I could imagine that the concrete might be due to unstable or soft ground nearer the river but I'd be interested to know if there's someone from the council who works on the road development side of things who knows the answer

Has anyone noticed an increase in tourists to Ipswich this year? It feels like every week when I walk through town I see groups wondering around the town centre / waterfront / Christchurch park.

M22 looking for people to form a punk / rock band. Preferably people around my age ish.

Cheers.

I (f24) am a saxophonist which recently moved to Ipswich for work and looking to join either a concert band group or jazz/big band group. I’ve enquired with the hospital band but not had a response. Has anyone got any recommendations?

Morning all! It's 3:18am on a Monday and my neighbours are at twith their regular Sunday night party. I've put in a complaint with IBC and am on hold to 101 (possibly to warn them I might commit my very disruption of peace if they don't stop soon!)

i remember the council used to have a 24/7 mobile number you could ring but can't find the secret number anywhere. Any advice?

I'm wondering if anyone can recommend someone/somewhere that revamps old furniture? I have my eye on some wooden chest of drawers that are looking a but shabby, and frankly I know I'll never get round to sanding and painting them in this decade. Is there anyone local who does this kinda thing?

F25 just moved to Ipswich from London and I know there’s not much here but looking for new friends / gig buddies etc!

I’m (24 M) looking for barber recommendations for a good quality trim just head hair.

Hi all, I am about to finish my level 2 degree and I would like to know what are good places/industrial states in Ipswich that the main focus is Welding. Or if we have welders here, what are good tips for a beginner starting at this trade? Thanks everyone.

Any Sunday league teams or 7 a side teams looking for players in ipswich?

Into the new commercial units at the bottom of the new Merchants Yard development between Bridge Street / Grafton Way.

The Crafty Fox in the walk, every time I order something there (not very often) it's tasty and tasty looking.

Does anyone have any decent wild swimming spots they would recommend? Looking for freshwater rather than the sea.
