The Village of Wark

We’re in for a busy few evenings again! Tomorrow, Saturday 4 April sees the return of the Snods Edge players with their most recent Murder Mystery Night. The title of the performance is ‘Murder up the line’. Tickets are £5 per person and you’re asked to bring a contribution for a pooled supper. There will be a bar and tickets are available from Judith Weir on (01434) 230250.

The Sports Club is having its AGM on Monday 6 April in the club starting at 7.30 p.m. And while we’re on AGMs I might as well tell you about the Town Hall AGM on Monday the 20th of April. AGMs are perhaps not the most glamorous of occasions but they are crucial events in the life of local groups. They are the opportunity for local people to find out about the work of the group behind the scenes and as importantly, to have a look at the finances of the group and ask questions of the committee. It is also an opportunity for new people to get on those committees and make their own contributions. Without groups like the sports club and town hall committees the village would be a poorer place.

On Tuesday the 7th, the Local History Group will hear a talk on Farming through the last 100 years, by Johnny Davison. The history group meets in the Town Hall and the talk starts at 7.30. New members and guests are always welcome.

Next weekend, on Friday 10 April, we’re in for a great music night in aid of Sports Club. There will be contributions from people based all over the west of Northumberland and I trust there will be both traditional tunes and songs as well as more recent ones, but still in the wonderful Northumbrian tradition. Tickets for this do are £5 and are available from Judith or the Post Office. There will also be a bar and snacks and all proceeds will go to the refurbishment.
