Matfen Jean Conteh Another quiet week in Matfen village as the temperatures plummeted and the weather conspired with the lockdown to keep people indoors. I’m planning to put together the next Matfen Community Newsletter soon, the first one of 2021, so get in touch via jeanconteh@waitrose.com if you have anything you’d like to contribute. It will appear every two months this year. It’s meant to be a round-up of what’s been happening in the community, as well as plans and ideas for the future. It’s a space for anyone in the community to publicise events, ideas and activities, or to share positive thoughts and reflections about life in Matfen over the years. Since it started last year, it has been distributed through Rev Rachel’s email list. If you haven’t received it so far and would like to do so, get in touch on the email above and I’ll ad you to the list.
Sarah Hallberg St Peter’s, Falstone, needs help from all knitters in the North Tyne area. The church would like to have a large display of knitted poppies for Remembrance Sunday 2021, and it has wool and patterns available for anyone who would like to contribute. Please contact Jill Swaile if you would like to get involved on alanswaile@aol.com or 01434 240168. The annual subscription fees for The Meeting of the Waters (the North Tyne and Redesdale’s Parish magazine) are now due, and the annual fee of just £6.50 will get you 11 issues per year. Please contact Jill Swaile for further info.
