FRIDAY 5th May 2023
The ‘Bring Your Own Bar and Snacks’ Evening held in the Village Hall was very well attended with a lively buzz of chat and laughter in the room. A really lovely start to the Coronation Celebrations and so popular it was suggested it could become a regular Friday night event.

VOLUNTEERING MONDAY – The start of the Community Orchard
The weather on Monday was drizzly and cool in complete contrast to Sunday, but nevertheless a hardy band of over 30 volunteers with assorted tools arrived at the abandoned allotment which has been earmarked as the site of the Woodnewton Community Orchard. The scale of the work was enormous but they worked tirelessly at clearing trees, brambles and roots and were eventually rewarded with tea and cakes in the Village Hall. This is a long term project which will carry on through the summer and it is planned to plant the trees in the Autumn. The Parish Council had asked residents to make donations towards the cost of the trees and to date have had a good response
