Sorry for the delay in posting these on the site but I did not have time before going on holiday.

Thank you to all those who made the effort to dress in Victorian costume. Despite the snowy weather the event was a great success and visitors gave generously to charity. When all the collection tins are returned and counted I will post a report about the money raised for Willow Burn and the Village Trust ‘Britain in Bloom’.

Thank you also to the Methodist Church for hosting the entertainment and the Village Trust volunteer stewards who helped to ensure that the event ran smoothly.

Environmental awareness

November 22, 2010

At the end of the summer term this year, pupils in year 5 at Shotley Bridge Junior School worked on a project dealing with ‘good dog ownership’.

The Benfieldside, Blackhill, Bridgehill and Shotley Bridge Partnership has now published an Environmental Awareness leaflet containing their work and that of pupils from Benfieldside and Blackhill St Mary’s Primary School.

All pupils at these schools have received a copy and it is also available to pick up from community venues.

If you would like to look at the leaflet you can download a copy [but please read the pages in numerical order].

Do you recognise the Town Crier and Fagan?
