Northlew Community Allotment Association
The Association was formed in 2009 to bring allotments to Northlew. They are now looking fabukous on the plot at the edge of the village next to Carmel Coaches depot. There are still one or two plots available to let for anyone interested in growing their own. There is now running water connected to the site too.
For more information contact Cathy Fethers on 01409 220276. |
Northlew
Amateur Dramatic Society
The society was formed in 2007 to produce a Pantomime for and starring members of the village. It was a huge success and now the group produce a Panto every year and have also put on two highly successful Murder Mystery Dinner events as well as a lifesize Punch and Judy show and an outside performance of Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream! We really need more members so if you'd like to be involved either treading the boards or behind the scenes we would love to see you. We are currently rehearsing for our September production – Two comedies with dinner on September 24th 2011 in The Victory Hall. There will be details in next month's Northlew News.

Silver Band
The band was formed 100 years ago and is believed to be the only surviving village band
in Devon. We currently have about 20 members and new recruits are
always welcome. We practice every Wednesday at 8.00 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,
Westlife and Mariah Carey. Anyone interested in joining
the band is welcome to come along to a practice.
For more information contact Martin Perry, Chairman on 01409 221376. |
Gardening Club
Northlew Gardening Club meet once month on a Wednesday night in the Chapel Rooms. We cover a wide range of topics through speakers and organised activities, along with visits to other gardens for inspiration. We also organise plant and seed swaps to help you add even more to your garden.

Friends
of St. Thomas Church
While many people are happy to make a contribution
to Church funds, not many realise 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).

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 Andy Wilkins (01409 221878) or John Spry (01409 221366). |
