Hello
I hope you are all well and had a good Summer. Time is getting on, nights are pulling in time to get back to club night. The newsletter is early as our Gathering is the Sunday before club night.
Hope to see some of you at Hunton.
Supper will be at 7.30 this month to allow speaker to start at 8.00 and do uninterrupted talk and slide show about Beamish. This is very interesting. Come along bring a friend.
There will be a committee meeting at 7pm.
Thankyou
Ernie.

SEPTEMBER GATHERING
We start with an invitation to attend the clubs annual gathering. As in previous years we would invite you and friends and family to attend the Cricket club at Middleton St George on the Sunday 15th of September, either as an Exhibitor, car booter or just a visitor. We will offer you a warm welcome. Please come and join us even if you can only come for half a day.

There will be the usual tombola and raffle. Refreshments will also be available for you to enjoy.
What are you waiting for put the date in your diary we look forward to seeing you there. Mavis Bailey will be happy to help if you need any further information. Find her number at the beginning of this newsletter.
Keep your fingers crossed for fine weather.
Don’t forget SUNDAY THE 15TH OF SEPTEMBER.
CLUB NIGHT IS ON THE 17TH OF SEPTEMBER.
We have invited a representative from Beamish to come and give a talk about their continued work developing the new 50s village they are currently undertaking. The newly completed Village hall for the 50s village is a copy of a Hall built with funds raised from the miners of Leasingthorne Colliery where my father worked.
Should be an interesting night. Hope to see you all there.
Any of you that attended our Christmas Party last year may like to know that the entertainer we had “Deborah Taylor Smith” will be appearing at the cricket club on Sat 12th Oct. All welcome £2.50 cover charge.

OCTOBER THE 15TH IS AUCTION NIGHT.
The annual auction will be held on the above date so please start to dig out your unwanted items for inclusion in the auction.
We once again have enlisted the services of the Chairman to be your auctioneer. He will be looking at breaking the record so dig deep.
Even if you decided to buy nothing please come and join in with an evening full of laughter and fun.
If you can’t join us please send any lots of goods for sale to the club on the 15th of October.
Last year we raised a magnificent amount which in turn helped to subsidise your Christmas party. So every 10 pence we can raise is as important as the pounds.
Sat 14th December
While mentioning Christmas Party (I know you are cringing Ken) but shops are getting ready and so must we.
Party is booked for 14th Dec . We would like to see a better turn out of members. Get date in your diary and if you have any suggestions re format party should take then please let us know. What stops you attending? Those that attend always enjoy.
