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.

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

May events

Our next social evening will be on Friday 2nd May and for this month we will be holding a quiz. Our quizmaster will be Steve Fullerton, this will be his first time at Newton Village Hall so please come along and support him. Our doors will open at 7pm and the quiz will start at 8pm, with a box of chocolates going to the winners, but if you aren’t really into quizzes don’t let that put you off, you are still more than welcome to come along for the usual drink and natter.

Don’t forget our duck race will be on Monday 5^th May, at 2pm tickets are still available so please get in touch to reserve them, if not we will be on the field from 1.30pm on the day, so please don’t miss out. We would be grateful for donations of any prizes and cakes, please let us know if you would like to give something.

Lastly we will have a bacon butty morning on Sunday 18^th May 9.30am – 1pm.  Why not come along for a tasty sandwich, slice of cake and a brew.

I hope something here takes your fancy, we look forward to seeing as many of you as possible over the next month.

Police drop in Session
