Silver Band
We are currently desparately seeking a new musical director. The band was formed almost
100 years ago and is believed to be the only surviving village band
in Devon, but we need someone at the helm - if you know of anybody who may be interested please contact us. We currently have about 20 members and new recruits are
always welcome. We practice every Wednesday at 7.30 in the bandroom
that is situated in the yard behind the village hall. We play a
wide range of music varying from classic marches and hymns through
to modern chart music made popular by artists such as Robbie Williams,
Atomic Kitten and the Pet Shops Boys. Anyone interested in joining
the band is welcome to come along to a practice.
For more information contact Martin Perry, Chairman on 01409 221376. |
Friends
of St. Thomas Church
While many people are happy to make a contribution
to Church funds, not many realize that those funds are forwarded
to the diocese in general.
Anyone who would like to contribute specifically to the upkeep and
preservation of our own Parish Church could consider joining the
Friends of St. Thomas Church (registered charity no. 1070123).
You can become a member by making an annual subscription of £5.00
or more and, if you are a tax-payer, we can reclaim the tax paid.
For further information, contact the secretary, Roger Atkinson
(01409 221779) or the treasurer, Ron Oldale (01409 221106).

Northlew
Football Club
At the start of the season we werent sure whether the team
could survive. Then Bevill Smithers came to the rescue and took
over as manager. With some more players our team spirit returned
but, in spite of winning the last five games out of six, we were
relegated on goal difference. However with the same manager and players
for the next season things are looking much better. |
The
Snooker Club
Snooker has been played in the room at the
side of the Victory Hall since the mid 1920s. Teams have played
in the Okehampton and Bude leagues, winning on many occasions in
both league and knockout competitions.
Today we are struggling to maintain one team of five players in
the Bude League. It would be a great pity if the Snooker Club folded
up so we are looking for new members. All would be welcome. Parents
with children or older people who might be interested in playing
snooker or helping to maintain the club are asked to contact Michael
Cole (01409 221621) or John Spry (01409 221366). |
