December events

Firstly, can we say a massive thank you to everyone that helped, donated or supported our bacon butty mornings where we raised funds for the Hodder Valley Show.  I am delighted to say that we raised £1133.34 and this has now been passed to them. Lets hope next year is more successful for them.

We also raised a total of  £105 following refreshments on Remembrance Sunday. Thank you to everyone that donated, this has been passed to the Royal British Legion.

Now for our December events, I hope some of you will be interested and be able to join us.

Friday 5^th December commencing 7pm we will be holding our social evening, please come along for a drink and free mince pie.

SOCIAL EVENING

Police Drop in Session

Police drop-in session at Newton Village Hall 25th July 2025, 2pm to 3.30pm
Following the well attended last drop-in session in April, another session is being held at Newton Village Hall on 25th July 2025 between 2pm and 3.30pm.

We received very positive feedback from the Officers attending the April session and it would be great if we can make their efforts worthwhile again by as many attending as possible. Given that an evening session doesn’t suit everyone, it has been decided this time to try an afternoon session as an alternative. This is an opportunity for you to meet Officers from our rural policing unit, showing support and appreciation for their efforts as well as being able to ask questions. For example, you may be interested in learning about their current priorities, how they operate on a day-to-day basis and what are the biggest challenges they face but, of course, you can ask anything you wish to ask.
You can attend any time during the above timeframe
