Did you miss the Holy Trinity Walking Group’s Druridge Bay walk on 4 May? If so, perhaps you would like to join them for a walk over the common at Edmundbyers on Saturday 1 June? It will be about 8 miles, of moderate difficulty. When the walk is finished, the group have a room booked at the Derwent Arms, so it should be a very enjoyable day. For more information, or to book a place on the walk, email walks@ht.church . Except in August the group organises walks on the first Saturday of every month – for more information email the above address.
Monday 13 May, lunchtime (1:30 – 2:30 pm) in St Hilda’s (around the corner from Starbuck’s).
Come and hear the unusual sound of massed mandolins.
