This is an open meeting for all members, guests, and any other local resident who would like to find out about the Village Trust or simply join in the discussion.

Shotley Bridge Directory

January 7, 2010

The funding application to Durham county Council’s ‘Grants for Groups’ for the new leaflet was successful and the Shotley Bridge Directory was published last month. The full grant of £1200, administered by the Derwentside CVS & Volunteer Bureaux, has paid for the design and printing. It is intended to use the advertising revenue from local businesses to produce an updated reprint for next year.

The Directory provides information on community facilities, clubs and groups in the village and at Snods Edge.  It also includes a map of the area together with information about the history of the village and the Village Trust.

Snow and more snow

January 1, 2010

New Year’s Day dawns with a 6″ cover of snow.

There are more images in the ‘snowy scenes’ photo gallery.

The long term forecast for January is for even more snow and freezing temperatures!

A Happy New Year to all our readers.
