Newsletters

November 17, 2009

The three newsletters that have been published so far this year are available to read [see the Pages column]. You will need to have Microsoft Word software on your computer.

The February newsletter gives information about the Trust’s Design Awards, the proposed development at Shotley Spa, the new Neighbourhood Partnership and traffic and highway issues.

In May the newsletter mentions the Derwent Valley Partnership, action on litter and an update on the planning application at The Spa.

September’s issue deals with the village centre Open Weekend, ‘The Parking Lot’ study and a suggestion to enter the Northumbria in Bloom competition.

Victorian Weekend Volunteers

November 16, 2009

Volunteers from the Trust met this evening to finalise arrangements for the Victorian Christmas Weekend that is being held in the village centre the first weekend of December.  This follows a successful Open Weekend in March.

The Trust offered its support to the local business and community partnership to help organise and manage the event. We shall be litter picking in the mornings and stewarding after lunch, during the musical performances in the village square, as well as organising the Victorian Costume competition.

We are also organising the collections for the North of England Children’s Cancer Research Fund for this charity event.
