The Village of Wark

Our County Councillor Edward Heslop, has asked me to let you know that the petition to urge the Council to do something about our bridge over the Tyne was presented to the Council last week.  Northumberland County Council is expected to provide an official response to the petition within a month.  After we’ve received that response there will be a meeting in the Town Hall to discuss the issue and an opportunity to ask questions etc.  I suppose we will just have to be patient for now.

I’ve been asked to mention to you that there will be a bingo evening in the Town hall to raise funds for the Methodist/ United Reformed Church on Tuesday 27 April 2010.  The bingo will start at 7.30 p.m. and of course you’d be made very welcome. 

A couple of days later, on Thursday 29^th of April ‘On Common Ground’ with Hugh Lupton and Chris Wood will be in the Town Hall.  Broadcaster Verity Sharp said of the show: “It’s rare to hear work as powerful as Chris Wood and Hugh Lupton’s. With beautifully sculpted prose and carefully honed music they seduce the minds of those who listen, skillfully drawing on the past to make sense of the present… This is welcome nourishment for those who like to think for themselves”  Tickets are going very well but a few are still available and cost £6.50 or £4.50 for concessions and are available from Judith Weir on (01434) 230250.
