The Jesmond Festival Guided Walks in High West Jesmond are now all full up! Please do not turn up for these walks if you have not reserved a place. It is possible that further such walks may be organised in future – if you are interested, please contact juliemjacques@btinternet.com .
All places on the Charles Mitchell walk available on May 9, May 13 and May 19 have now been booked. At the time of writing, there are still places available on May 25 at 5:00pm, but if you are interested, contact norths_2000@yahoo.co.uk as soon as possible, or you risk being too late!
The meeting point for KJC’s litter pick on 14 May will be St George’s Church Hall. Weather permitting the litter pick will be followed by a Community Picnic on the Green, to celebrate the group’s achievements over the year.
This year’s Jesmond Community Festival includes a new guided walk in High West Jesmond, devised by City Guide Julie Jacques. The full title of the walk is “Walking the Bounds of High West Jesmond” and the route includes the Blue House and Little Moor. Three alternative dates are available (8, 15 or 17 May), but the number of people who can be accommodated on each walk is limited and so YOU MUST BOOK IN ADVANCE by emailing juliemjacques@btinternet.com . There is more detail in the festival programme.
One of the first events in the 2022 Jesmond Community Festival will be the Plant Stall run by Jesmond Community Orchard. Make a note in your diary now!
