Here are the details of our next meeting
Our speakers are Ruth Dalton and Andrew Walter on Farming and wildlife at Whinpot Farm, Crook. Wal and Ruth's Shetland cattle graze Brigsteer Bee Reserve to help the owners manage their land for biodiversity. They will tell us about their farm business and how they work with local landowners to manage habitats and produce high quality, pasture-fed beef. This is the last of our Open Meetings for the year so bring along your friends (from 8p.m.) Table Tennis is back for the autumn on Tuesday evenings at the hall! 1st session Tuesday 19th September from 7.00pm to 9.00pm.
The next WI meeting will be on Wednesday 13th September in the Village Hall.
The speaker is Ian Gregg who will be telling us all about how the Greggs Bakery business started; its journey from a small Tyneside business to a major national retailer and will include its community and charitable activities. This meeting is open to all from 8pm. £3 including refreshments. Thank you to the 17 people and three others who attended or expressed an interest in getting Bowling again.
That number looks promising and indicates we can start this activity again. DATES - meeting twice a month on the second and fourth Monday of each month at 7.30 pm. Indoor shoes and £3.00 per person. (No OAP concession!) September 25th. October 9th and 23rd. November 13th and 27th. December 11th and a week earlier on the 18th to avoid Christmas. I will circulate reminders nearer the time as these aren't particularly memorable dates. Looking forward to engaging in this fun, social and testing activity. Hi All
