Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstances Jesmond WI have had to cancel their originally planned “Medical and Humour” talk on the evening of 16 May.

The meeting is at 7:30 pm in St George’s Church Hall.

An early start for the 2022 Jesmond Community Festival as Friends of Jesmond Dene (and friends) met outside the Jesmond Dene Visitors’ Centre for a Dawn Chorus Walk, led by Mike Cook. A very cheerful bunch, despite the time!
