THE door-to-door collection in Riding Mill by volunteers from Churches Together raised a whopping £1,432.64 for Christian Aid.

The organisers would like to thank everyone who delivered and collected envelopes and all villagers for their generosity, proving we understand the charity’s theme for 2016 which is to ‘love every neighbour’.

CAN I take the opportunity to remind parents once again about the new football pitch which is being established alongside the cricket pitch at the Broomhaugh end of the village?

It is hoped to set up mixed junior teams (ages seven to 10) and join the Corbridge Little League.

Practice sessions take place every Wednesday between 3.30pm and 4.30pm on the MUGA court behind the parish hall. All equipment provided.

Interested parents and children should just pop along, but for further details contact Clive Page on (01434) 682566 or Tom the coach on 07817 061898.
