This year the Shotley Bridge annual spring litter pick, organised by the Trust, is being held on Saturday 19 March …
Volunteers to meet at the Golden Flower car park in the village centre at 9.30am.
Gloves, bags, pickers and hi-viz vests will be provided, if you don’t have them.
There was a good turnout at the open meeting on Tuesday evening. Although there were technical issues with the projector communicating with the laptop, Andrew Thompson’s talk about the Shotley Bridge Swordmakers was very interesting and informative.
He is one of the five Trust members on the Heritage Group who are writing about the History of Shotley Bridge. His chapter on the Swordmakers is one of ten in the 36 page booklet which is to be published in time for the Trust’s AGM on 21 June.
After the AGM, Grace McCombie, buildings historian will be giving an illustrated talk about the historic buildings of Shotley Bridge.
The next Open Meeting of the Trust is to be held in three weeks time on Tuesday 15th March.
Andrew Thompson will be giving a short illustrated talk about the Shotley Bridge Swordmakers. All welcome.
Tonight the Christmas tree in Shotley Bridge is shining brightly.
There was a slight delay when a car fell off a towing truck just beside the triangle.
Carols were sung by a small crowd to mark the start of the festive season.
