Events taking place in Carham parish.
Cornhill Village Fair
Carham Parish Defibs will be at Cornhill Village Fair tomorrow, Sunday 28 July, 12.00 to 3.00, to raise money for the parish’s defibrillator fund. You will find us running the Pimm’s No. 1 stall, with all profits going towards buying and installing the first public access defibrillators in Carham parish. We will also be launching our Big Summer Raffle at the fair. Please come along to support us, if you can!
Next Saturday’s Walk
If you are planning to come on next Saturday’s Footpaths Group walk, please note that the starting point is now the Cornhill Village Hall car park at 10 am. The route has had to be shortened, and will now be 4.5 miles. These changes are because part of the byway from Wark to West Learmouth is too overgrown to attempt. Everyone is welcome on this walk, including well-behaved dogs on leads. For more information, see the poster on our Walks page.
Next Footpaths Group Walk
The next walk organised by the footpaths group will be on Saturday 15 June 2024, starting at 10 am. This 5.5 mile circular walk starts and ends in Wark and is on footpaths, byways and the old railway line. Everyone welcome, including well-behaved dogs on leads. For more information, see the poster on our Walks page. If you would like to know more about the route itself, there is a report from the last time it was walked under “By Railway and Byway” on the same page.
Coffee Morning
A reminder that the coffee morning is this coming Saturday 20 April in Cornhill Village Hall. This event is to raise money for the Carham parish defibrillator fund. There will be tea, coffee and hopefully some cakes, as well as a raffle, a wheel of fortune, a craft and produce table, and bric-a-brac. Donations of raffle prizes, baked goods and produce are welcome. The event begins at 10.30 and the raffle will be drawn at about 11.30. We look forward to seeing you there!

Mindrum Farm Walk
The Footpaths Group had arranged to visit Mindrum farm in December last year, but the walk had to be cancelled because of the weather. It has now been rearranged for Thursday 7 March, starting at 10 am.
This is another chance to enjoy a five-mile guided walk around this mixed organic farm with Tom Fairfax who will be talking about regenerative farming and other developments since the Footpaths Group visited in 2019. Everyone is welcome, including well-behaved dogs on leads. For more information, see the poster on our Walks page.
