The Gardening Club

Following a root and branch review of the Grounds Maintenance, the Association has established a partnership between the residents and the contractor.

The seed was planted last year and the Gardening Club came to fruition in the Autumn. A good deal of time and effort was ploughed into the proposals by the Residents Group.

Jones Donnelly were awarded the contract after giving an excellent presentation to the Residents Group and following up with a competitive tender.

All Members of the Gardening Club met for the first time since work commenced and the outcome was fruitful and productive.

Sacriston Easter Bonnet Competition

250 residents attended the annual Easter Party at Sacriston Workingmen’s Club on the 29th March. They were treated to the traditional pie and pea lunch as well as bingo, a raffle and live entertainment. The highlight of the party was the Easter Bonnet Competition.

And the winners were...

1st Prize: Janet Simpson, Framwellgate Moor
