Walkabout. Friday 10 June 2016. Location this year – start at
Peppermires, then on to Holywell. Tickets will be available
from Monitors until Friday June 3rd: prices still at 2011 rates. ie
£12.00 and £14.00 for non-members. We recommend car
sharing where possible. Detail of the gardens which are open
will be given to you on arrival at Peppermires. Try to arrive at

Saturday 17 September 2016. Annual Show. Wed. 12 October. David Hall of Halls of Heddon. Illustrated
talk and plant sale.
Wed. 16 November – talk by Nick Hamilton of Barnsdale. We have engaged the services of Nick Hamilton, an experienced gardener, horticulturalist of 25 years standing, writer and speaker – although, of course, he is best known as the son of the late Geoff Hamilton who educated and entertained TV audiences weekly with the horticultural goings on at Barnsdale. In Geoff’s time, Barnsdale was little more than a television set; since his untimely death Nick has transformed it into a garden attracting many visitors annually.
In keeping with Geoff’s ideas though, the garden is still one where great effects are achieved without lavish spending. Note the date Wednesday November 16
th, the subject
“Gardening in Shade” (chosen by popular vote at the Club’s
AGM) and the ticket prices (as last year for the talk by Bob
Flowerdew) Members £5.00, Visitors £7.50. The committee
looks forward to seeing you there.
Do you know anyone who, for any reason, would appreciate prayer,
a visit, or perhaps to receive communion at home
Please tell Deborah Hodge, Authorised Pastoral Assistant, and she
will get in touch. 01388 745455

THE ARCHIVES AND HISTORY GROUP ARE
CELEBRATING THEIR 10TH ANNIVERSARY IN
APRIL/MAY 2016.
A permanent glass fronted display board has been
commissioned and is on one of the walls in the Committee
Room of the village hall. It is intended that differing
displays of items held in the Archives collection will be on
show there. We hope these will be of interest to residents
and visitors.
BRANCEPETH WAR MEMORIAL
NOW A GRADE II LISTED MONUMENT
Historic England recently invited comments as to whether our War
Memorial has special architectural or historic interest. The Archives
Group submitted information regarding this and, in April 2016, the War
Memorial became a Grade II listed monument with Historic England.
The reasons given for this listing are as follows:
Historic interest: as an eloquent witness to the tragic impact of world
events on this local community and the sacrifice it has made in the
conflicts of the twentieth century
Architectural interest: an elegant memorial cross in the medieval style
Group value: with the church of St. Brandon (Grade I listed, the park of
Brancepeth Castle (Grade II listed) and a number of other listed
structures.
(List entry number 1433731)

FRIDAY 1st JULY, 2016
Performances at 2.00 p.m. and 7.30 p.m.
in the Village Hall.
The film lasts approximately 80 minutes, plus an introduction.
July 1st 1916 marks the 100th anniversary of the first
day of the Battle of the Somme – one of the worst of
the Western Front WW1 campaigns. Four men from
Brancepeth and Wooley Colliery were killed on that day.
To commemorate this, the Archives and History Group
are arranging two showings of the Battle of the Somme
film.
This is a documentary/propaganda film produced by the
Government at the time and released nationwide on 21st
August 1916. It was seen by huge audiences in the UK,
barely a month after the events it depicted. Cinema-goers
hailed it as an opportunity to see the reality of the
Western Front for the first time, and to share the
experiences of the soldiers who were fighting there.
Admission is free but donations towards the cost of hiring
the hall and overheads would be appreciated.
“If the exhibition of this picture all over the world does
not end War, God help civilisation.”
“The most important and imposing picture of the war.”
David Lloyd George
