David Ruffley MP has been invited by Mr Chris Knock to visit the newly restored Punch Bowl Community Inn and say a few words on Easter Monday at 12 noon.

Mr Ruffley said; 'The Punch Bowl Community Inn is a classic example of Suffolk's Big Society. After nearly two years of closure I am thrilled to see that this much loved Inn will be reopening to the public. In these hard economic times it is great to see that community spirit is alive and well in our villages.

I am especially looking forward to meeting the volunteers who have spent their last four weeks working tirelessly to restore and renovate the Inn.

I hope that the community at large will take notice of this collective team effort and make sure to give their full support to the Battisford Punch Bowl Community Inn by coming in for a visit.'
