Coming Up This Sunday

As we hope you know by now, we are holding a car boot sale plus classic car and bike show at Carham farm steading on Sunday 16 July. Admission is £3, with children under 12 free of charge, and the event opens at 9 am. Soft drinks, teas and coffees and burgers will be on sale for those who come along a bit later in the morning, and the event will wind up in the early afternoon. This event is to raise money for life-saving public-access defibrillators for communities throughout the parish. Please show your support by coming along. And if you’d like to help us raise more money, we’d welcome any fresh garden produce that you can spare, your fresh home baking, home-made preserves or any small plants that you’d like to donate. All of these will be sold on our plant and produce stall, with 100% of the proceeds going to the defibrillator fund. You can bring them along on the day, or we can collect from within the parish. Contact us for more information.

Ukraine Response

A collection point has been set up at the Cheviot Centre in Wooler to collect goods for refugee centres in Poland. The collected items (see list) will be sent to a strategic reserves warehouse located in south east Poland, from which they will be distributed to centres of temporary stay for Ukrainian families who are cared for in this area or, as needed, transferred for transport to Ukraine. Donations can be delivered to the Cheviot Centre between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday, until 12 March. Please donate new goods and only bring products from the list, which is based on information from aid providers.
