Daffodils galore

October 18, 2014

On Saturday morning 10 volunteers from the Trust spent a couple of hours planting more daffodils, heathers and tulips in grass verges and sustainable beds.

Hopefully this will enhance the appearance of the village in the Spring.

A Night at the Races

October 12, 2014

There are just a few tickets left for the Race Night next Saturday. Thank you to all the local businesses who have sponsored the races or provided a raffle prize and those who have donated bottles of wine or ticket money.  We are aiming to raise £700 for the ‘Blooming’ Shotley Bridge fund. It should be an entertaining evening.

Blooming Shotley Bridge wins ‘Silver Gilt’

September 17, 2014

Congratulations to Shotley Bridge which has received a ‘Siver Gilt’ Medal in the village category of this year’s Northumbria in Bloom competition. We were awarded 10 more points than in 2013, so we need just 7 more points next year to achieve ‘Gold’ status.

Thank you to the Blooming Committee, the volunteers from the Trust, Shotley Bridge Junior School, residents and local businesses, without whose efforts this award would not have been possible.
