Wark Notes 19th February, 2010

Author: Joseph Oliver and Friends played for hours on Saturday night entertaining a group of people just large enough to fill the Hall with dancers. With accordion, fiddle, keyboard and drums they played a mixture of ballroom-type dances and ceilidh and with help of some able dancers just about everyone had a go. As always the shared supper worked a treat. It is quite amazing that you can feed a Hall full of people when everyone brings something and even more amazing to think that the balance of different foods is almost always about right. I understand that the evening just about broke even and that everyone had a great night out.
The Friends of Wark First School are planning their annual Bingo fundraising night for Tuesday 2nd March and a call has gone out to see if you can help provide suitable items as Bingo prizes. They need about 30 prizes to hold this event. Chocolates, bottles, gift sets or anything else you think is suitable would be appreciated. The Friends of Wark First School would be grateful if you could drop off any prizes at the school as soon after half-term as possible.
I’m sure you’ve remembered that it is the Table Top Sale at the Town Hall on Saturday 20th of February. The sale will start at 1 p.m. with sellers being able to set up from 12 noon. You might still be able to book a table by contacting Judith Weir (01434- 230250), otherwise, do come and have a browse to see what’s on offer. Entry is just 50p per person and that includes a cup of tea.
Finally, a reminder for the play by the Northumberland Theatre Company on Saturday 27th February 2010 again in the Town hall. They are bringing us ‘A Village Life’. Based on a wide range of conversations that the writer, Mary Cooper had with people for different rural areas, including Wark, the play explores modern village life in rural Northumberland. It’s a comedy so expect a laugh, by I suspect it will be quite recognizable. Tickets for the play are £8 and £5 for concessions and are also available from Judith on the telephone number above.
