FROM WHERE I SIT ....

Together with almost 100 others, I attended the 2019

Northumberland Celebration of Village Halls on a glorious

sunny but frosty day in Stannington Village Hall. What a

great inspiring event.

There are over 180 village halls in Northumberland,

including 20 Warm Hubs. Seahouses Hub is our equivalent

of a village hall and the monthly Fish and Chips Lunch

(organised by Seahouses Rotary) has been designated a

Warm Hub. I had lunch with Lynne and Angela,

representing Beadnell WI Hall, and read a copy of the fas-

cinating booklet “The history of the WI in Beadnell”.

Julia Plinston talked about the birth of Community Action

Northumberland in 1951 and their initial concentration on

village halls, announcing the launch of a Heritage Project

in collaboration with Northumberland Archives to ensure

that the tons of information about village halls is stored

and made available in a variety of ways.

After lots of networking and nattering, Ian McMillan (Radio

3 Presenter, Poet and Village Halls National Ambassador)

gave an hilarious talk and, with the help of the audience,

created a special poem.

The terrific conclusion, announced by Louise Curry before

lunch, was a £420,000.00 grant to Community Action

Northumberland from the National Lottery, to be

distributed to eleven village halls in Northumberland. Wow!

Rockliffe, St Aidans December 2018

May I offer a huge thank you to all Jean’s relatives, locals and

friends, who knew her so well, and sent good wishes to myself,

Elizabeth, Judith and Jean’s sister, Gillian.

Initially, my thanks go to our local First Responder Martin

Spruce for his exceptionally speedy arrival after 999, the

ambulance crew in attendance, Martin and Agga, and the two

helpful policemen from Berwick.

I am also indebted to Deacon Jackie for such a truly

understanding Service, to Jean’s family friend, organist Harry

Hanvey, to Alan Haile and his funeral team for, as always, a

perfectly directed funeral, to the RNLI team who turned out “on

parade”; finally, but not least, all the past and present staff at the

Ship who knew her so well and meant so much to her.

I regret, out of pure ignorance, not being able to reply to Internet

emails and texts, but thank you anyway!

Further to my letter above, the Funeral collection amounted to

an extremely generous total of £1,200.

As indicated on the service sheet, the monies will be donated to:

BAMBURGH WI REPORT

Bamburgh WI held their first meeting of 2019 on the 9th January, Christine Hutchinson welcomed everyone including one new member. County events in the future include a Pamper Evening, a Craft Day, Speaking with Confidence Workshop, Easter around the World and Carpet Bowls. We had also received an invitation from North Sunderland/Seahouses WI’s 95th Birthday. Our own events during January are a Programme Planning Meeting, a Quiz Night and our monthly lunch group. We are also hoping to organise a visit to Peebles in the Spring. We did not have a speaker for this meeting so we held a Members Afternoon. The format was a “Story to Tell” and several members had a few tales to relate. These included a lost piglet, a piece of coal, several tales of loos around the world. There was also funny tales (and sad ones) from retired teachers in our group. Tea was very welcome afterwards. The next meeting will be at 2pm in Bamburgh Pavilion on Wednesday, 13th February, when Ian Wilkinson will give a talk on his naval exploits. A warm welcome is given to all visitors.

Beadnell WI

Having enjoyed an autumn programme and become informed about the work of a naval attache in Moscow, what it is like to be a driving instructor and how to train collie dogs to do their work, Beadnell members finished 2018 with a convivial Christmas meal. The new year is going to be fun for us. In January we are to have a Members’ Night based on the theme of food – a favourite subject for many of us! That will be followed in February by a session on Days out with a Camera led by by Sue Dawson, one of our members. As ever, a pooled supper will be incorporated into our meetings. We always meet on the second Thursday of each month at 7.00pm in our institute hall. Please come along if you would like to join in the fun.

NORTH SUNDERLAND PARISH COUNCIL

Improvements and more spaces in Seahouses Main Car Park

The present work in the car park will be completed before

Easter and will offer:

Additional spaces for vehicles

a total of 177

Larger bases for camper vans

Bays clearly marked out

New drainage in the top car park

Seahouses is better equipped to offer residents easier

parking. With additional space, tourists will be able to park

their vehicles and go off to explore and enjoy the delights

of the beaches, the harbour and all the village has to

offer.

BELFORD MUSEUM NEWS

During January, we have been busy at the Museum, redecorating the Front Room, preparing new exhibitions on the Greenwich Estate Mills at Spindlestone and Waren, and on the Belford Area men who became Japanese Prisoners of War after the fall of Singapore in 1942. We are also updating our interactive system and hope to have the catalogue for the Resource Area complete by our reopening on 1 February - still the same hours - winter 10.00 - 4.00pm daily, admission free. On the weekend of 16/17 February, to encourage you all to come and see our changes and explore our resources, we are having a special Open Weekend. Then there will also be an opportunity to see Brian Rogers’ award winning photographic presentation ‘A Northumberland Farm’ which was shot at West Hall Farm in 2010. We hope to see you sometime over that weekend.

The village had a surprise visitor when Princess Anne dropped in by helicopter to

see George and Ailsa Shiel and pop across to the Longstone lighthouse! George

runs the Golden Gate, the only boat allowed to land on Longstone and Princess

Anne is a keen Pharologist which is why she requested to visit Longstone

Lighthouse along with the celebration of Grace Darling.

She became an Elder Brother in 2004 and was elected The Master of Trinity House

in May 2011. HRH Princess Anne is also a proficient and keen sailor having taken

part in many competitions and was talking to George about her sailing and his own

experiences.

You can see pictures of the visit on the Golden Gate’s website at

www.discoverthefarneislands.co.uk

CHRISTMAS DAY LUNCHES 2018

The friends of St. Paul’s would like to say a massive ‘thank you’ to

the team of volunteers who combined to make the Christmas Day

lunch deliveries (around Beadnell, Seahouses/North Sunderland

and Bamburgh) possible once again. The warm hearted response

from everybody involved was greatly appreciated and this year

more lunches than ever went out, or were eaten in with some of

the helpers. We also received more donations, contributions and

gifts of food whilst the offer of drivers and kitchen helpers was

truly amazing, not only on Christmas Day but also for preparations

on Christmas Eve and for Boxing Day visits. New friends came to

assist alongside those regular faces who are always there to lend

a hand. We have already received welcome offers of help for

Christmas 2019.

THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH!

The Mobile Library will be in the car park at Seahouses Hub

on the following dates:

SATURDAYS 9.45AM – 11.45AM

February 23rd

March 9th

and 23rd

It’s all been quiet on the Skiffing front for the Bamburgh & Beadnell CRC apart

from an alternative Christmas party with a row from Amble up the river to

Warkworth and back again at the beginning of December. It was a brilliant day out

and as you can see well attended by other local clubs.

Grace Darling is in dry dock at the moment for its annual maintenance but we look

forward to getting her out on the water very soon.

At the time of printing this article, the BBCRC Annual General Meeting is due to

take place on Tuesday 29th January with a packed Agenda and hopefully some

exciting new initiatives to announce.

If you are interested in finding out more about this Club, please feel free to contact

me on bandbcommunityrowingclub@gmail.com. This is a club for the community

and all ages, abilities and levels of interest of welcome.

Happy New Year for 2019 from BEADNELL VILLAGE

The Beadnell Community Volunteers AGM took place on

16th January 2019 at the Craster Arms when we were

delighted to report another successful year of fundraising

and awards!

The meeting started with a change of Chairman for the BCV. Gordon

Brown has retired as Chairman; the post he’s held since the group was

first formed in 2012. To formally thank him for all his hard work and

abiding commitment, the committee presented him with a framed

drawing of St. Ebba’s Church, originally drawn by Jen Hall’s father the

then proprietor of Beadnell Towers. Gordon and Joan were outbid at a

recent Auction held by the BCV for a similar picture so they were

particularly thrilled with this.

For your information, the newly elected Chairman is

Peter Jenkinson, with Colin Brunt continuing as Treasurer

and now Katie Archer as the new Secretary.

Christmas seems like a long time ago now, but we do hope you enjoyed

our display of lights. The event was attended by a record number of

adults and children with standing room only at St. Ebba’s Church, then

a visit from Santa Claus followed by the “Village Voices” entertaining

everyone at the Beadnell WI Hall while they drank mulled wine and

enjoyed some homemade soup.

As expected not a lot has happened during January as far

as gardening is concerned. Apart from the daffodils getting

it wrong and sprouting too early due to the beautiful sunny

and warm winter days we’ve experienced. Let’s hope we

don’t have another Beast from the East to cover them all up

with snow!

Congratulations to Selby Brown who has

raised over £1400 to Prostate Cancer re-

search by not shaving or cutting his hair for

two years! The Great Shave off happened at

the Masonic Hall, North Sunderland when

the Brethren of the Farne Lodge held their

January meeting.

“I would like to thank everyone in the village

and beyond for their amazing generosity.”

said Selby The only problem is now I’ve got

to buy a woolly hat!

Shave Off on the News page of the Lodge’s

Hello and a belated Happy New Year to everyone, from Bamburgh

Castle! We are starting the New Season determined to make contact

with all local residents, as well of course with our welcome visitors.

We hope you may like a flavor of what’s happening this season at the

Castle, now under new management, with the Watson-Armstrong

family playing an increasing hands on role. We hope through Village

News, to keep you in touch as the season progresses.

This is the 125th Anniversary of the first Lord Armstrong buying the

Castle in 1894. So, although our history goes back to Anglo Saxon

days, and earlier, we will focus on the Armstrong story at the Castle

this year. Next year will have a different historical focus. We will be

offering illustrated Talks on the 4 Lord Armstrongs, and today’s

family; we have a new Book to celebrate. If you visit the Castle, you

may even meet Lord Armstrong in person...! And we are happy to

arrange for Talks to local Groups, if you would like someone to tell

your organization more about the Armstrong era. Just get in touch...

Changes are happening here; we are about to throw open the Castle

grounds to dog lovers and their canine companions as of the 1st April.

We are introducing a new Local Friends/Membership scheme for

local residents-watch this space for further details. For young visitors

we are introducing miniature pony trap rides and how to care for a

pony along with Lego workshops and open air cinema concerts to

name but a few of the different events happening here.

We do hope that you, as well as our Visitors, will visit our Castle this

season for more details about events our website can be found
