Each year, Northumbria in Bloom runs a campaign to recognise, encourage and reward community groups who work together to transform their environment through gardening, environmental awareness and community support (see County Councillor Report (Aug 2023)).
Anyone know of, or even remember, The Spinners? Not our own Northumberland Spinners but the British folk group that peaked at number 14 in the album charts in 1971. Yes, a long time ago, eh? Well, the first LP I ever bought (for the younger ones among us, this is what’s currently called ‘a vinyl’) was ‘Black and White’ by The Spinners. It featured a song unsurprisingly called ‘Black and White’, the third verse of which reads as follows:
The Covid-19 vaccination programme is now being rolled out for high priority groups. On completion, other groups will be offered the vaccine.
Further to the UK Government’s recommendations regarding the current coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, Ingram Village Hall will be CLOSED until further notice. This is effective immediately.
Following yesterday’s recommendations from the Government regarding COVID-19 and the need to minimise social interaction, the Breamish Hall Committee has made the decision to close the Breamish Hall as from today 17 March 2020 until further notice.
We take the welfare of all residents extremely seriously.
The greatest concern is for elderly and vulnerable people in our community, many of whom may be self-isolating due to ongoing health issues.
With this in mind, the community has formed a group of local volunteers to help ANYONE who needs assistance.

WELL DONE to everyone on the Powburn Show Comnmittee and to all the other people behind the scenes who have worked so hard over the past year to make create a Powburn Show 2019 success!
The weather was great, the people were fun, the food was delicious, the crafts were so skilful, the…well, the list goes on!
We live in such a beautiful part of the country here in north Northumberland and we want people to come and enjoy all that it has to offer: the open spaces, the fresh air, the dark skies, the wildlife and flowers.
It’s a joy to see children especially delighting in the surroundings.
We want everyone to have a good time.
So, that’s almost another year completed. Phew! Where did it go? Did you manage to stay on top of your New Year resolutions (still a few weeks to go, of course). Or maybe you didn’t bother.
Anyway, whether you did or you didn’t, I hope you have a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS 2018!
So much has happened in our local community over the past year. So much for us to be grateful for.
