April 10, 2013At the Trust’s Open Meeting last night a cheque for £1,030 was presented to Sue Fox, representing Willow Burn hospice, on behalf of the Shotley bridge Business & Community Partnership. The money was 75% of the charity collection during the Dickensian Christmas Spectacular plus contributions from the Eve Fashion Show and Imago Raffle. £340 was raised for the Blooming Shotley Bridge fund.
Presentations were also given by Dawn Reed [Durham County Council] on options for improving the village centre, and Sue Shaw [Blooming Shotley Bridge] about the Northumbria in Bloom entry.

Daffodils
March 1, 2013Considering it was St David’s day today has anyone seen any daffodils blooming in Shotley bridge?
The only daffodils on show were these in a bucket, for sale in the village centre.
Hopefully the daffodils in the tubs will be in bloom when the judges visit for the Northumbria in Bloom Spring Judging on April 9th.
